I called USBI, the biller for Ridley Tel. Co. They "transferred" me to TalkMoreUSA, who said my granddaughter (11 years old) entered on the Internet for free movie passes and input our phone number, which signed us up for a $19.95/month calling card. I mentioned age; they said website requires you to be 18.

I believe it's illegal to charge someone's phone bill unless the bill is in that person's name! Otherwise I could do this to my ex-inlaws...They said charge would be reversed. Will report whether this is the case when new bill comes.
