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 -------
