I was about to use the IBM Advantis access number in Wilmington Delaware and wanted to know how much it costs from my home -- many numbers in Wilmington are free for me. So I call Bell Atlantic operator and say how much to call to call (it is in their area and the same as mine). They cannot find a rate. The exhange exists but no rate is available. I guess I call and find out whether it is a free call or a toll call or what ever when I get my bill. Just like Las Vegas roll it and see!!! Dave ps Bell Atlantic also has NEVER been able to give me a rate to a same area mobile telephone number. Just does not show in their records (IT DOES SHOW in the their billing information). Where is Ma Bell when we need her!!!!
