Nope.  This is a thread that died so long ago that most people's machines
have dropped the old discussion, but her site evidently still has the
old messages.  Anyway, the last guy who claimed to have lower rates was
full of it, and Evelyn probably is, too.  This cheap long distance stuff
is a bunch of different players running pyramid schemes.  The rinky-dink
Tele-whatever companies make their money selling "recruiter kits" like
the one Evelyn bought, not from selling long distance service.  I pay AT&T
less than the last "lowest rates" guy was advertising.  You can't beat the
big guys, because you can just play all the other companies off one another
threatening to switch, just like retailers that honor competitors' coupons
and advertising flyers.
