My question is this...I own a business and have refused/cancelled my long distance service entirely, but an STILL charged a monthly fee plus a land line charge. Any ideas? I am getting nowhere with the Bell Atlantic folks nor "US Biling Services". How can I be forced to pay for something I don't want? Get gas for your Tiger, but you don't need air in the tires, but you pay for the availability of it anyway??? Lou
