I thought you were talking about a package of $10 which you pay to the
ISP. Don't know about the USA, but here you pay for the line, and for
the minutes separately. Also, Internet dial up numbers are charged
differently than regular phone numbers. So - I thought $10 was for 100
minutes to an Internet phone number only. (which would be expensive
:-) )

One more misunderstanding then. You said "Range for unlimited-time DU
is $10US to $20US a month, depending on who you're with.", and then
immediately followed with "For example..", so I thought that would be
an example of such an unlimited-time $10/month package.
Never mind - I do understand now :-)
