In my area (Reading, PA, about one hour outside of Philadelphia), there are
three plans for local calling. 'Charge per Call' costs $4.05-$4.45 a month,
and all calls are metered after you spend the $.25 allowance they give you.
Two-party line service is STILL AVAILABLE on all plans.. Kinda outdated, in my
opinion. The second plan, 'Local Calling With Allowance' costs $6.40-$6.80
a month, and is metered after you spend your $4.00 allowance. And finally,
there is the almighty 'Unlimited calling to Local Area,' costing
$10.60-$11.00/month.
Typically, my phone bill (minus my hundred-or-so dollars in LD charges) comes
to $15.58 a month, with taxes and the hideous 'Touch Tone charge.' Not bad at
all, after I read all the messages on here of people explaining their
exorbitant local call charges..
