[comp.dcom.telecom] 900 Lines - Cost - Blocking - Cutoff

hes@ccvr1.cc.ncsu.edu (Henry E. Schaffer) (08/29/90)

  The son of a North Carolina resident ran up almost $4,000 in
900-number calls (without the father's permission.)  The phone
company, Central Telephone of Hickory, cut off his service.  The
cutoff came after the resident "had tried to have the calls from his
line blocked."

  Information and quote from an editorial, "Trouble on the 900 line"
in the Monday, Aug. 27, {News and Observer}, Raleigh, NC.
