- OK, I sorta blew this with my previous comments. I just checked with NJ Bell and here's the story: Up until last fall (at least in NJ), there was indeed a charge per extension. This was distinct from the telephone rental and you paid this whether you owned your own phone or leased. Since telcos typically don't break their charges out, I'm sure many people weren't aware of it. I think it was about 50 cents per extension. However, with divestiture, they've dropped this charge. I was right last year but wrong today. Oh, well. Thanks to those who sent me comments. -- Keith Quarles Follow the path with heart AT&T Consumer Products Neptune, NJ ...!{akgua,allegra,houxm,ihnp4}!hou2h!keith1
