Just out of curiosity, what sort of rate is available with 10xxx
calling?  LD companies tend to charge more for 10xxx access, and/or
bill in full-minute increments.  I even know one that will not only
bill you for their per-minute rate, but also add on their monthly
billing charge to your first 10xxx call.

Still, if you can get $100 out of it, it will probably compensate
for any inconvenience and extra charges.
