RE: SBC Ameritech pay phones - 50 cents for unlimited local calls doesn't include 'local long distance' calls

Based in my experience, SBC Ameritech has a fraud going on pay phones. the signs say for $.50 local calls have no time limit. FALSE ! what they call "local LONG Distance" is $.10 per minute with $.25 requested to continue for another period of less than 5 minutes.
