[comp.dcom.telecom] Another AT & T Aggregator?

Hi fellow telcomers,

Recently a representative from a company called World Wide
Communications approached our company offering us an alternate
long-distance plan using AT & T's Software Defined Network.  World
Wide doesn't make any money off of us, but gets a rebate back from AT
& T.  The advantages that the tout in their sales literature include:

* No installation charges
* No minimum usage
* No long term commitment (company can cancel within 90 days)
* Monthly bill received from AT & T
* All outgoing calls will be placed utilizing the SDN

Based upon remembrance of a past thread on aggregators, what is the
opinion of fellow Digest readers?  Is this the same type of service
that would be delivered if all outgoing calls utilized the 10832
access code in front of them?

One side note is that we would be issued new AT & T calling cards with
different PINs on them.  What is the reason for this?
