Having been warned by experience and this net group, I have carefully asked for the AT&T operator when using my calling card. This month on my phone bill I found a charge from a carrier labled LD*OS. It charged me more for a three minute local call than an eight minute call to California during the same time band (evening). Since I have refrained from completing the call before being told that I was connected to AT&T, what recourse do I have against this company? Also, this page, like others, has the standard "This portion of your bill is provided as a service to LD*OS". Is there any way I can refuse the local phone company permission to bill me for charges other than its own local charges and those of my designated long distance carrier? Roger Preisendefer
