A previous posting says (in reference to the lottery/giveaway but the specific case doesn't matter): > It's void in NY,FL, & RI Also, how to enter for free (OK -- 29 > cents!) (address follows) ... Or call 1-900-258-2647 for $2.99 When I saw the void in NY and the 900 number it raised a question for me? Now, I live here in NY, state that is. What would happen if I called the 900 number, assuming that I only had been told about the contest and was given the 900 number (in other words I did not know it was void in NY)? Would they not charge me? Is is possible for a 900 company to tell whatever company is providing the 900 service to not bill a particular company? Since it's void in NY, a call would not result in me receiving anything of value so under what grounds could they collect? brian oplinger@crd.ge.com <#include standard.disclaimer>
