In a previous Digest someone wrote about new international calling card numbers. AT&T has been issuing them for awhile. The US part is not your phone number. They start with 838 or 836 followed by eleven digits: the international part is 891253 83x NNN NNNN U YY when the US part is 83x NNN NNNN ZZZZ where x is a 6 or 8 and N is any number and U is a check digit (I think same as old cards) YY has the word auth. Code above it. ZZZZ is the normal four digit US pin. Does anyone know when the rest of the carriers are issuing their cards? There is also a note on the mailer stating that to comply with government requirements AT&T is no longer sharing card numbers with the local telephone company. Bill
