limtex, Yikes! please don't use the $4 per minute as an expected per minute charge! That's not what I meant when I posted it. I was trying to do two things when I made that post, neither of which was to estimate the expected cost: 1. I was trying to estimate the Upper Limit of charges, taking the highest G* estimate I'd seen and combining it with the highest landline international calling alternative; and 2. I was trying to show, from a marketer's perspective, what people were willing to pay for an "equivalent" service. And that was again the most expensive international calling plan. (The point being they're willing to pay $2 one place, they'll pay $2 another place). I think (but don't remember, and did not document) I pulled the 1.50 to 2.00 from someone else's post on this thread. The international line charges were from Ameritech. Since G* is expecting the vast majority of their calls to be in-country, or in-gateway, I do NOT think it appropriate to take the G* call PLUS the international charge as the expected price of a typical G* call. Their mean charge will be very close to the G* charge, with the small add-on for the line charge. So, the discrepancy you're trying to resolve is the $1.50 to $2.00 (quoted elsewhere) and your 80 cents. For that, I can't help you. Have a good rest-of-the-weekend.
