That's good information to have.  Where did you get it from?  I
subscribed to the ATT Reach Out program a few months ago and I'm not
sure that I'm saving any money.  I compared many charges to those on
bills that I've been saving since last summer and there's little or no
difference.  Could it be that the standard rates have risen and the
Reach Out rates are now what the old rates were?
