Acceptable to ask salary range?

If one is to be invited to interview is it acceptable to ask what the salary range is?

I would have thought a decent company will provide it.

Thanks

Sometimes taking a bigger pay increase doesn't always mean much if the benefits are expensive. I didn't take a huge pay increase with my current job, but I'm also only paying around $100 a month for ALL of my wife and I's benefits plus a nice 401k match which is 100% vested immediately, compared to my last job where health insurance alone was $600 a month and everything else sucked too...it's about the total compensation package, not just salary. Skip the range and stick with a specific number...

Wow, I thought I was getting good benefits. I'm paying around $250 for me and my wife, for very good medical insurance, Vision, Dental, term life for me and my wife and supplemental short term disability. I could pick a cheaper medial plan and cut my rate in half, but just don't get sick, it don't cover much. I know a co-worker who picked the cheapest medial insurance plan, her husband got sick and she was on the hook for 10 grand in uncovered medial bills.
