Apparently the AT&T card can only be used (outside the USA) to call the USA. It cannot be used for calls within a foreign country (I was in the UK early this year). Also, it cannot be used for calls between foreign countries. [Moderator's Note: You are partly wrong. The AT&T card can be used between two countries other than the USA in the case of Japan. And in fact, I think in the case of Japan to somewhere (other than USA) you don't even use the '1M' international number ... just the regular calling card number and PIN. PAT]

In article <12402@accuvax.nwu.edu>: >[Moderator's Note: You are partly wrong. The AT&T card can be used >between two countries other than the USA in the case of Japan.

So this explains KDD's claims that their "Hello Card" number can be used to make calls within the U.S. too. The sample number in the picture on their brochure sure did look like a normal BOC 14-digit calling card number. I guess some kind of agreement was worked out. Maybe fictitious RAO codes for Japan? I'll have to apply for one and try it out.
