It's nice that Americans (or is that Californians) now have access to such advanced telephone services as an automatic alarm clock, even if the $2 charge is a bit steep. I had exactly that service in Sweden twenty years ago for about $0.15 per call. Of course, my total phone bill was about $2.00 per month, including unlimited local service.

Regarding the 976-WAKE service in California... I just returned from a trip to Melbourne, Austrailia. While perusing the local phone book, among other items, I noticed that TelCom Australia has been offering this service for about 85 cents a call. Calls can be one time only or on a standing order basis...
