American Expressphone (MCI really) offers 950 calling from
anywhere in my local area, with no surcharge. But does the rate vary
depending on where in the area you are? What brings this to mind is
the D. C. calling area. It covers parts of two states along with the
District.
Now if I call Baltimore from a coin slot in VA or the District,
that's interstate. But if I step across the boundary to Montgomery
County, it's an intrastate call. I have questioned charges on my
statement and been told that it 'takes a while' to find out where a
call originated. (the calling city does NOT appear on the bill) Do
950-#### go to different Points of Presence in this case? Does C+P or
MCI keep a record of what number originated the call, and charge
accordingly?
