Not just charge by the minute on the service, how about the long distance charges to call the nearest access number? In my case, San Juan (70 miles, mostly busy) and Miami (1000 miles) or New Jersey (1600 miles, same price but better connections because undersea cables land there). It introduced a pattern of irresponsible spending habits that continues to this day.
