CONSUMER COMPLAINTS
The Complainant alleges that she was not made aware of the distinction between interstate and intrastate providers. The Complainant further states that she was not aware that Qwest was her instate provider and feels that Qwest has taken advantage of her by not making it clear that they offered instate long distance automatically. The Complainant requests that Qwest be responsible for the charges on her phone bill and that Qwest notify all customers that there is a difference in instate and out of state providers.
