The big difference between US and EU was that in EU you had to pay for the minutes on the phone. So basically you were never really free to use the internet for as long as you wanted.
- quantumfissure 3y agoIf it was "long distance", you still had to by the minute. There were plans out there that allowed free weekends or other deals, but generally this was true nationally. If it was a local (same first 3 digit prefix of our 7 digit numbers, XXX-1234) or "1-800" call, generally it was a free. There were caveats, like in major cities, sometimes it'd be long distance to other areas, but generally "local" was the same three digit prefix as yours. Anyone that accidentally dialed into a "long-distance" ISP or AOL number found this out the hard way.
