- I just got off the phone with the most WONDERFUL young lady at Michigan
- Bell (and most of you know I don't get along much with them), and she tells
- me that May first, Michigan Bell will be combining the TOTAL of lines you
- have in your home (billed to ONE bill) and giving us that amount of calls
- to play with in any fashion we'd like. In other words... if you have 2 lines
- currently in your home and they are billed to one bill, you can either make
- 400 calls on each or 800 calls on either one.
-
- This will of course help The Plex Project out since we make more than
- 400 calls each month on more than one line. Since I am currently paying
- for 8 lines on one bill, we will be able to make upwards of 1600 calls
- each month on our two UUCP dialouts. I asked the young lady to go recheck
- her information and the start date (which she did), and it was confirmed.
-
- Has anyone else heard anything about this? I'm sure this will be good
- news to a lot of us here in netland!
