Something I have learned over the years...if a long distance company calls
and tells you they can give you better rates and names the other
companies...don't trust them.  Instead tell 'em...I'll tell you what...using
company letterhead paper, send me an official company letter that outlines
the plan exactly, and blue pen signed with your toll free number, send it,
I'll review your offer and call you back to confirm, yes or no.

I'll tell you right now...no fool would every agree to send you
such...however, if you find that one person, let them send it out.  Should
you accept and the company adds charges not outlined in this legal, blue pen
signed agreement (contract), sue them.

Oh...and if the person says they will send out such if you agree...just
remember...don't agree to anything until you have that legally blue pen
signed piece of paper in hand.  No matter what they say.  Let them put their
exact charges in writing
