This has not been my experience. Telecom*USA has always been very
forthcoming in removing charges from my bill regarding calls I did not
want. They are always 1 minute calls, and I never picked one up
myself. Presumably they are picked up by my answering machine when I
am not home, but no one has ever left a message. And as I said,
Telecom*USA always removes those charges when I call their customer
service.
