MN: Qwest error leads to overcharging

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread

If you're in the 612, 763 or 952 area codes, keep
an eye on your long-distance phone bills. You may
be getting overcharged for long-distance calls. And
your calling card may have been canceled.

. . .

`In essence, what happened is that we had a
programming error in one file we sent to long-
distance carriers,'' Qwest spokesman Bryce Hallowell
said Wednesday. ``That error resulted in the
erroneous cancellation of customers' long-distance
plans and calling cards in the 612, 952 and 763 area
codes.''
