Perhaps some of the confusion about calling 800 numbers using USA Direct stems from the fact that AT&Ts policies have changed. Just over a year ago, I was in Australia and needed to reconfirm my trip home with United Airlines. The local office was closed, so I decided to call the US 800 number using USA Direct. The AT&T operator *would not put my call through* even though I assured her I would pay the international charges. I gave up and had her connect me with the local Chicago number.
