Used to be that the most economical time to call India from U.S. on AT&T was between 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.. Effective December 31, 1988 AT&T has changed it to between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.. As a matter of fact the rate structure has dropped from three tiers to two tiers (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. is now the most expensive times to call India). A lot of folks will be surprised next months when they see their bills. They would be making calls during what they thought was the most economical time to call only to discover that it is the most expensive time. AT&T tells me that they have ads in most new papers today 1/2/90 announcing the changes. Wonder if similar changes (not the rates but the time when it is most expensive etc) have hit the tarrifs for calling other countries. What about other carriers? Deepak Sabnis hplabs!hpda!deepak
