It was ano olde AT&T trick when the introduction of Touch (tm) Tone
was supposed to save the busy executive time. While being cheaper to
operate, AT&T ergonomics (The wonderful world of Bell) had the
leverage to charge for touch tone because they were originally 
meant for business and justifable for the rate increases. 

I originally saw the TT at New York's World Fair. That's 25 years
ago. 

Well as far as your problem, don't pay and wait and see.
