On Sept 27th, 1990 Israel started Calling Card service to AT&T. People in Israel can contact the AT&T operator directly by calling 177-100-2727 (177 is the Israeli 800 code). Calling Card charges are $5.48 for the 1st minute and $1.20 for every minute thereafter. If a collect call is made, it is $8.76 for the 1st minute and $1.20 for every minute after that. People in Israel can get Calling Cards if one has a mailing address and phone number in the USA willing to receive the card. AT&T has indicated that once an account is established, the billing can be transferred to an Israeli address.
