- Yep, it's in the new 93/94 phonebooks. I just saw it today, but didn't
- look at the cost. They have two "circle" plans.

- Be carefull though, the distance is usually calculated between two
- phone company rate centers. This may not correspond to distance
- between you and the person you are calling. There was also a very
- obscure notice in this months bill. Something about MiBell wanting
- to include some costs in these circle plans. Usually when you
- can't understand the notice, it means they are raising the charge.
