[BC] strange Long Distance charges

[Larry Bloomfield]

Thanks Barry for that info. I seldom call Canada and when I do, it is on 
my cell phone. Also was not aware of the Vonage blocks at hotels. God 
only know that I've stayed at a few on the Road Show. May be it's good 
that I don't have Vonage right now. Had considered getting it. Are there 
any other internet phone services that can get past the hotel blocks?
