LEGACY LD Rip-Off on 2 local collect calls I received. Cypress California
I received 2 collect calls from a telephone located approximately 4 miles from my home. I was billed $20.00 for a 5 minute call and $24.40 for a nine minute call. After surcharges, etc. were added 2 calls total $48.18
This telephone is located near the school my young nephew attends. He calls if he is in need of a ride or there is an emergency. The telephone cuts in and out so much most of the time is spent saying, "Are you still there? Can you hear me? I can just barely hear part of what you are saying!"
Not only does this company overcharge (rip-off) they also fail to keep telephones in proper working condition which is more of a concern in emergency situations than the exorbitant rates.
It should be illegal to charge so much. Why don't they list the rates on the telephone? If this is not a RIP-OFF I'd like to know what is!

Kimberly, if they listed the rates, no one would use the phone.
BTW - why doesn't your nephew just call you from the school.
