That part is highly interesting. It now explains the feature on my new
cell phone where I get a message after hanging up a call that advises me
not only of the cost of the call I just completed but also the remaining
balance on my account.

And just to maybe throw a monkey wrench into the European or not
question, I am using Cingular in Tennessee. So I could see that being an
interesting thing to have for some larger carriers in the area.
