Ultimately, it still seems that she did not "win" anything except knowing the telephone numbers that made up the $4.19 charge In order to provide detailed billing, Verizon still claimed that customers are required to pay a one time fee of $40.00 USD, plus an additional $0.02 USD per call to be listed on the bill, which for regional exchange calls could be around 50% of the price of the call itself. The ruling of this case makes it appear that this "feature" was available long ago, but since she was not subscribed to detailed billing, they told her to fight their policy in court, and she lost because she couldn't prove "... that the rate in the tariff is unreasonable or that detailed billing of residential measured use calls is feasible."
