That's right. AT&T uses a lot of Verizon stuff. Verizon linemen even
installed my new lines. But I pay (and deal with) AT&T for far less
than I was paying Verizon to get the same services from them directly.
Just like the long distance resellers, I guess they buy in bulk and
mark up less.
My Verizon bil was about $145/month if I did not actually use my phone.
The average month cost $230. Long distance was separate. AT&T has
been running about $80 for the same service. I'm saving $1800 per
year.
