No Tiger Content - Your Phone Bill

Just received my long distance and local phone bill, and was amazed that I owed $5.51 for one 25 cent phone call. The long distance carrier gave me a bunch of lies about those charges, and the local service was no help at all.

I called the FCC and they e-mailed me about 5 explanatory messages about what the charges are, should be, and what to do about it.

Turns out I was being overcharged and lied to about fees, taxes, surcharges, minimums, and all the promises they made to sign me up ('the contract') were being arbitrarily changed.

If anyone wants a copy of the FCC replies, I'll forward them, or bundle them and put them on the list (labeled NO TIGER CONTENT).

They total 87K of info, so they aren't huge.

Your desires?
