The May issue of Consumer Reports dedicates 16 pages to telecom: phones, answering machines, long-distance carriers, and measured vs. flat rate for local service. The long-distance article points out exactly what Lauren has said would happen--there isn't a heck of a lot of difference in pricing between the companies. They list the 10xxx codes for the 7 (soon to be 6) major LD carriers and describe how to experiment with various carriers. (The information packet from NYNEX didn't even hint that other carriers could be used.) The LD article is the most useful consumer information I've seen on equal access (next to telecom, of course). If you have friends with a lot of questions, this may be a good document to have them read first. -------
