I have a (legal) question about the use of ALDS (with or without equal
access). Suppose I try to dial a number via carrier X and their
network doesn't cover that area (this is typically the case for a lot
of international calls), I get a recorded message which says:
"To dial this number, you must hang up, dial 10288 plus
the number"
Suppose further that I am a dumb user and blindly follow the instructions,
thinking I am still using the "cheap services of carrier X". Instead
I get a large bill from AT&T. Can I refuse to pay and sue carrier X??
Ole
PS. Recordings like the one cited *do* exist, no mention of AT&T is
made which is rather interesting
