Yikes!! Whats going on with 10-10-636? So I sez why not call the nice friendly folks at 1-800-589-4480 and see. After 20 min of 10-10-636 music (thank goodness for my great new cordless phone w/ speaker phone in the handset) I spoke w/ Amber. She sez "No changes MisterNice, your account in Delaware (I didnt know I had one) is still 5 cents/min, 7/24, 3 minute minimum and no monthly charges". I can call to HI for that deal but cannot call from HI. This plan started Sept 1999 so she added.

They do have a 10-10-811 plan. It is 5 cents/min, 7/24, 5 min minimum AND $5/mo. She said "some people prefer this plan". WHA? She is going to send brochures on both plans.

My current fallback plan (and what I use on trips) is the 240 min MCI phone card from Costco for $14.19 (works out to 5.9 cents/min). So I suggest calling these 10-10-636 folks at 1-800-589-4480 for any updates in usage. She sez they negotiate costs with the local (not L/D) carriers. Will look into bigzoo next although I dont like the short expire bit.
