I just recently got phone service. I call the world in Newton (Outside the
unlimited service area). Based on the rates in the phone book I figured it
would cost 67.00 or so to be on line 20 hours to the world (PAUnix site in
newton) if I have unlimited local service. It's all there in the phone book.
I found that most of my calls would be outside the local area, but within
Metro Boston so I spent the $24 bucks or so for Metropolitian.
