800 numbers aren't free. They're just paid out of a different account. I don't pay for them directly, but I do indirectly through the increased prices of the goods and services sold by the company with the 800 number. I'd hardly call that being a 'parasite'.
It's for people who are willing to pay for their own phone calls.
Too bad there's not always a choice, a lot of companies use only 800 numbers for service hotlines etc. -- Eric Murray ericm@lne.com ericm@motorcycle.com http://www.lne.com/ericm PGP keyid:E03F65E5 fingerprint:50 B0 A2 4C 7D 86 FC 03 92 E8 AC E6 7E 27 29 AF
