[comp.dcom.telecom] Cellular Service in Phoenix

ddodell@stjhmc.fidonet.org (David Dodell) (03/16/89)

I guess we are lucky here in Phoenix.  Metro Mobile, the non-wireline
service,  only charges for completed calls.  Busy/No-answers accumulate no
charge.   There is also no charge for calling their customer service or
technical  numbers, 911 or the test number "TEST".

Another new thing instituted here, which is also no charge, is *33.  This is
a direct connection to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (our state
police) for reporting drunk drivers on the state highways.  I should add that
both Metro Mobile, and US West Cellular (the wireline carrier) have added this
service.
