- I finally got my bill for those Public Phone 2000 data calls I made
- back in September. As many people pointed out, the bill came from
- AT&T Services. It was mailed on a Jacksonville, FL permit, but I'm
- supposed to send my payment to an Atlanta, GA address.
-
- The bill is split into items for keyboard rental and the actual call.
- I guess I misunderstood the instructions, as I expected a single item
- for each call. That'll teach me to read ... :-)
-
- One really unusual point: The 'Location' entry for the keyboard usage
- charge is given as Los Angeles, but the location for the phone call
- charge is given as Inglewood, CA. Both entries carry the same phone
- number for the originating phone.
-
- BTW, I've found the Minneapolis installations. One is in a corner of
- MSP airport that I'd never visited. The other is downtown, in the
- Hyatt Hotel. That one is usually out of order, and when it isn't, it
- tells me my card number is invalid when I punch it in. As far as I
- can tell, none of these phones will take a regional calling card in
- the swipe reader, except for Southwestern Bell cards.
