Hey, I'm a shareholder in T also, but I have SNET (a unit of SBC I believe) as my long distance carrier. I also think LU & C (I personally own both) are also good stocks to buy and sock away.

Lynn, I think that you will find that AT&T has cheaper packages than the one that you currently have. I have found that for my own purposes that it is much cheaper for me to purchase my phone time on a 'as used' basis than from purchasing blocks of time on a monthly basis that I may use or not. The reason being that there are many months that I make very few long distance calls. And when I do call long distance I typically keep my calls relatively short. As soon as you 'divorce' AT&T you will see how many different rate packages that they will offer you. I know! I do it every year or so just to keep them on their toes! Cheers, Steve

Lynn: I feel your pain. Just switched from MCI to AT&T & the order to switch my second line, an ISDN line, never took effect. Result MCI slammed me for a $4.50 minimal charge since I don't fax over my ISDN that often. Got it straightened out now, but no one likes to pay something for nothing I suggest should check out AT&T's online billing service for your long distance account management. See att.com. The service offers AT&T One Rate Plus ($.10/min) with no minimum fee.
