   Howdy! Daryl and Tom,   
      
   This afternoon my wife saw the U-Verse commercial saying $14.00USD for   
   internet.   
      
   I mentioned that I thought that is only if we bought a package that had   
   another service - Phone or Cable TV with the internet service too.   
      
   I ain't checked it out but I'd believe that would be true.   
      
   The only option I 'HAD' used with my plain vanilla telephone service   
   was Caller ID, and when I learned it didn't tell me who EVERYONE was   
   that called my number I decided I could use the Ten Dollars USD better   
   for something else.   
      
   It's almost Plain Vanilla telephone service here except for DSL being   
   added.   
   73
