Neither of you are apparently understanding what I'm saying. An "Internet call" doesn't go through the MTSO as a "call", but looks more like a connection to a web site (the difference being other ports and UDP data). Do you get charged minutes when you surf the web with 3G? I never do. If you place a call through Skype, does AT&T send you a bill? How would they do that? -- John Higdon +1 408 ANdrews 6-4400 AT&T-Free At Last
