What's in your phone bill?

Carolyn Shapiro with the Virginian-Pilot is currently doing a series of articles on helping consumers understand their utility bills. The first in the series, titled What???s in a bill? The price of phone bill jargon, explains some of the terms you will commonly find on your phone bill. As the article was written in Virginia, some of the details are state-specific, but the article still contains good information on understanding telephone bills for phone customers nationwide.
