I just received ATT's International TraveLer Newsletter in which they
announce USAdirect service availability in some new regions and better
rates in some others (as follows):

  a) The initial rate period is reduced from three to one minute
     (additional minutes rate is effective after first minute.)

  b) The rate for "additional minutes" stays the same, but the
     "initial minute" is slightly cheaper.


	NEW regions (and their access numbers) are:

Anguilla				1-800-872-2881
Antigua Boatphone Marine		872
Bermuda					1-800-872-2881
Egypt					356-0200

Honduras				123
Malaysia				800-0011
Montserat				1-800-872-2881
