Family of runaway girl says Qwest gouged them
Heather MacNair says she dropped 15-year-old Morgan off at school May 13. The family has not seen the girl since then....
Morgan does not have a cell phone, so her family hoped pulling their home phone records might provide some clues. They say not only did Qwest make them jump through bureaucratic hoops, Qwest also charged them $150 dollars for each days' worth of calls.

I remember when poor Ma Bell was deemed a monopoly and the Gov't said phone service would be cheaper if she was forced to share the lines.
I also remember that for about 25$ a month (+ long distance) your bill included the phone number of each call made and how long each call was. One would think if the technology was able to do that way back when, it sure should be able to do it now.
Pretty crappy of Qwest.
ETA Morgan is no longer listed as missing.
