I've been a customer for over 20 years. Minimum $10
to set up service.
IIRC if you mention my email address (in the headers),
I think I get a bonus $1 in my account, but I've never
tried it and it may no longer be valid, but what the heck.
My only gripe is that you need to make at least one
call every 6 months or they cut you off (and keep the
balance in your account). I begged once to be reinstated,
and they said "one time only!" so now I have to remember
to make at least one call even when I don't really need
too.
