One thing about parents: they love to hear what you've been up to. But you should call them anyway. And when they ask where you were last night, tell them that you always call using AT&T. When they ask how your studies are going, note that you can count on AT&T for consis­ tently high quality service. And when, at last, they praise you for using AT&T, then— and only then—you might want to mention those Psych books.

AT&T The right choice.
