Why did you delete the code?
For anyone interested, here is the code:

public class CellPhoneBill 
{
 
    public static int accountNum, dayMinutes, nightMinutes, totalMinutes,
        acctCall;
    public static char serviceCode, serviceCall;
    public static double amountDue;
    public static String outputStr, acctStr, serviceStr;
 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        getAccountNum(accountNum);
        getServiceCode(serviceCode);
        serviceSwitch(serviceCode);
        System.exit(0);
    }
 
    public static double calculateRegBill(int a) 
    {
        amountDue = 10;
        if (a > 50)
        amountDue = 10 + (a - 50) * .2;
        return amountDue;
    }
 
    public static double calculatePremBill(int a, int b) 
    {
        double dayCost = 0, nightCost = 0;
        if (a > 75)
            dayCost = (a - 75) * .1;
        if (b > 100)
            nightCost = (b - 100) * .05;
        amountDue = 25 + (nightCost + dayCost);
        return amountDue;    
    }
