For now.. Remember in old TDD days, you could call long distance for free by giving relay fake phone #? That changed when they now detects your phone # via caller ID.
LD via VP may be free, but with real #, I wouldn't be suprised if they decide to start charging us for LD calls or even charge us using VP service like we do with cell phone within 5 years.. I hope for our sake it wont happen - but as long VRS companies still get subsidizing from TRS funds.
