Make sure you call the carrier before you use the dial around or switch you
PIC. get all the info you can including the service reps name employee code
and/or ext. and what office they are in, there many offices around the
country for some companies.  Try  VarTec I have had good luck with them. 800
544 1510.. I pay $.10 per min out of state and in state, in Illinois, is
$.05  the dial around is 10 10 811. Also if you get calling cards from any
company make them explain all the charges including surcharges from the
payphone provider ( this is important cause this can double your Calling
card calls, not all LD carriers will pass along any surcharges) and never
use a Independent payphone ALWAYS use the Bell payphone. it can mean the
difference between a .50 call and a 15.00 call. I had this happen to me, I
call three miles, still local according to the Ameritech(the bell here)
using a independent and the .50 call cost me about 14.50. I called and
bitched and threatened to call the FCC and the ICC and they cut the 14.50 to
7.00. I had no choice but to pay it... Be careful this is your wallet you
are playing with.
