Hey, all
I am now a paid member. I am so happy to be able to respond now and join all the fun.

<<<Wonderbread, how about my question. If a person uses direct connect to 100 others,
does everyone on line have to pay for time used? All 100?>>>

I was told by a friend that has Nextel that only the person that initiates the direct connect pays. That is, transmitting costs money, not receiving. To use the 100 people question. #100 transmits something to the group. He pays. Everyone hears. #99 responds. #99 pays. everyone hears. Am I making sense?

Where would the cost savings be if all 100 got charged? it does not make sense that way.
