That is about right. OTOH, it has cut down on telepests for me, so
represents a worthwhile expense. (FWIW I'm in NC, under HellSouth for
phone service.)
I need to double check, but I seem to recall that I'm also paying for
touch tone, but I think this exchange no longer offers support for rotory
dialing. (And just to brag - my older son used to be able to dial phone
numbers with the handset flash hook. A real treat to watch.)
