That is for a local landline surcharge from the local telephone co (NYNEX). The plan is the maximizer plan. Primetime $.30/minute (7am-7pm weekdays), and free non-primetime (7pm-7am weekdays, all weekend, and certain holidays), and always the nynex charge. Cellular One, the other local carrier has an identical plan. > > > The second is power life.
