The reason I ask is because a person that I know subcribed to AOL not knowing that AOL does not have a local access number in this area and it cost her...her phone...when she could not pay the long distant charges from being online...I believe more than $700.00.

I doubt its flashed in your face every minute you are connected on a non local # but its certainly made clear before you connect. I have had an active AOL account since the early 90s and never really had a problem withh non local numbers but I know its possible to get fucked the way you described above.
