What is the Pay Phone Surcharge, and why do I have to pay it?
Due to the Telecom Act of 1996, long distance carriers charge SkyTel $0.30 for each call made to a “toll-free” 800 or 888 number made from a pay phone. SkyTel will pass this surcharge on to customers for calls made to their Personal or Corporate Access Numbers. You have the option of blocking pay phone calls to these numbers. Call Customer Service at 1-800-SKY-USER for more information. For complete information on how this surcharge impacts SkyTel customers, see the document on this site.
