Call Could Be Costly One
John Nasternak tried to make a local call Friday night and connected with cities far away including Atlanta and Cleveland. For about 45 minutes he and his friend Wayne Loving battled misrouted lines, reached operators in New York City and Salt Lake City, and could not reach a local operator until a neighbor helped finish the call due to a phone company malfunction.
