Imagine my surprise when the call detail records (CDRs) on my latest bill from Cox Communications Inc. showed long distance charges for two lines ringing in at $29,002.50 and $103,502.50 for the month.


That's right, a grand total of 202 minutes of long distance calling for only $655.96 a minute. So much for the triple-play bundle savings!
Fortunately, the CDR numbers didn't roll on to the actual billing statement.
The total would have landed a smidge beyond my credit card limit.
