I had a similar phone problem.  My local phone company set it up so that
no toll calls could be made from my phone or to my phone.  When I wanted
to call long distance I used my credit card.  I worked just like a pay
phone.  The operator would come on and ask for my billing.  It cost me
about $20 (one time) for the service.  It cost about the same to have it
removed once I no longer needed it.

I live in a small rural community with a local phone company, but we use
AT&T operators.


For those of you who say "...why doesn't she control her kid...".  Save your
