We just got our phone bill. Guess what! Our long distance this month was $189.57! For two calls to Sweden! When we signed up with them they swore it was going to be nine cents a minute. (Long story as to why we (temporarily) switched as that's still more than we were paying before.) They charged us $2.25 PER MINUTE for those calls. WTF? AND! That long story as to why we switched was relating to saving $10 a month on our internet service. They are still charging us the old rate, after being sworn to by people last month when I called that it would be on this month's bill!

They will know my wrath. And they are out of their ever-loving minds if they think I'm going to pay them $155.85 (plus tax) for $6.21 worth of calls.

Ouch! That's awful! I never gave much thought to long-term international phone issues, but geez, that's insane. Do they have VOIP capabilities? I haven't tried it yet, but others here seem to think it's nice.

I dunno. I just remembered that I was supposed to call our old long distance company to get switched back.. they had no monthly fee (a must for us because we don't use it that much) and 8 cents a minute, which I think is totally reasonable. We could pay less with phone cards but it just isn't worth it when it's down that low.

Ouch! That's rediculously expensive! Even British Telecom over here charge less than a tenth of that for calls to the states! I wish you luck in beating them them into submission.

They claim to be beaten.. we'll see when the next bill comes. I can't believe they think anyone should pay that much per minute to anywhere.
