That would be nice, except according to an FCC spokesman, "Calling card rates aren't regulated. Period."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://consumerist.com/consumer/prepaid-calling-cards/att-charges-up-to-eight-minutes-for-a-one+minute-phone-call-258047.php"><DIV>For calls that begin and end within the same state, minutes are deducted at the following rates per minute of talk time: <STRONG>1 minute</STRONG>: DC, IL, IN, MA, RI, USVI; <STRONG>3 minutes</STRONG>: AL, AR, CA, CT, DE, GA, HI, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MS, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, PR, SC, TN, UT, WI, WV; <STRONG>5 minutes</STRONG>: AK, AZ, CO, FL, IA, ID, MN, MT, NC, NH, OK, PA, TX, VA, VT, WA, WY; <STRONG>8 minutes</STRONG>: MO, ND, SD.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://consumerist.com/consumer/prepaid-calling-cards/att-charges-up-to-eight-minutes-for-a-one+minute-phone-call-258047.php"><P>AT&T adamantly insists, however, that the charges are not a rate increase, but a "reclassification." In a sign of how far AT&T has wandered from the range, their billing practices have not been followed by either Sprint or Verizon; each charge their prepaid calling card users one minute per minute of in-state talk time.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/199A560A-A2F3-4A66-A889-913A296678C0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
