Here is a good question of ATT logic. I live in a city close to NYC. C. Actually, it is about 20 miles away. To call NYC using Reach Out America, it is covered under the plan, but if I wanted to call a friend in South Jersey (609), which is about 40 to 80 miles away from house, it is not covered. Any ATT reps out there can explain why? matt Pro-Graphics BBS 908/469-0049 ....UUCP: crash!pro-graphics!matt_mcgehrin ARPA/DDN: pro-graphics!matt_mcgehrin@nosc.mil Internet: matt_mcgehrin@pro-graphics.cts.com [Moderator's Note: The reason is, Reach Out America is an *interstate* calling plan. If you want to place long distance calls within your state, and you feel a calling plan would save money, then you need to get Reach Out New Jersey. The AT&T Reach Out (Instate) Plans may or may not be worthwhile, depending on usage. For example, it is very rare that I call anywhere in Illinois except for the Chicago area. Thus the Reach Out Illinois plan is useless for me. In your case, it is not the mileage being considered, but the state boundary line. PAT]
