Nahh... I doubt it.
You'd hope that they default to NOT doing it unless people specifically asked
for it to be done...
Ameritech offers the same service, and I've only been charged for the times
I've actually used the feature. If I hang up, I don't get charged. I have to
believe BellSouth works the same way, although I could be wrong.
