Is Lucky Dog Phone Company actually owned by ATT or are they providing the facilities? I never heard of that company myself. Keep in mind...the Top long distance companies (ATT, MCI, Sprint, Qwest - top 4 I believe in that order) lease facilities to the smaller companies at a great price...this is how they undercut these companies. I know the top 2 do this for sure, not sure about the others. So its possible to get a toll company that is a reseller for a bigger one and not be directly associated.
