So, markets change. I wouldn't be shocked to find, however, that your unlimited plan excludes some numbers in some area codes. You should probably check into that before making a lot of calls.

I have an unlimited plan with the phone company it's $40 a month and If I paid by the minute it would be more than $300. So Alec, before you put your foot in your fucking mouth, you should use your brain more. problem is know it alls like Alec think they know everything, when they really don’t know shit.

The area code was 712 and I was curious as to where that is. Now I see it is some number, much like a 900 number, where I may be charged for the call? I have free North American long distance...I can't be charged on top of this flat rate I pay, can I? The letter went on to tell me to 'call 5 to 10 minutes early' to make sure I get a seat, and that it will take up to 30 minutes for this 'conference call'. My question is this...is this a real job or am I being set up to sit on a phone that I will have to pay for? Or, with the 'company' wishing me to call the number simply get some bucks for my call? I don't get it. Please write real real slow for me. Thank you!
