	I got some similar offer like this, however,
	the literature said it would apply to the first bill that
	covered a full month;
	which is better for you since then more calls are covered by the
	discount;
	are you sure this wasn't the case for you?
	however, I did have them apply only a portion of their normal discount
	(true usa, I think) to my first bill,
	but when I called they arranged a credit for the next bill w/o
	any hassle.
