Sprint with 12% volume discount is about .21/minute, and LDS (Metromedia) quotes me .21 per minute at night rates. I saw some advertisements from ATT for (in volume, which is no problem) I think $10 per hour (.16/min), but Austin and Houston are in the same state. Are their other alternatives? (For instance, how much is in-state outgoing WATS per month?) As is, I intend to drop Sprint like a rock as soon as I don't need them, with a nasty letter explaining my feelings about subsidizing interstate callers. David [Your WATS service question is best directed to your local business business office. Withholding comment on Sprint, your intrastate rates are set by a state regulatory commission and may be higher than equivalent interstate service. -Elmo]
