Just got back from a trip when I spent some time in US West territory. When I made some calls from the Minneapolis airport, I got the chimes and the word "ATT" after the bong. Interestingly enough, at another US West phone a few days later, I did not chear the chimes, but did get the usual message after entering my card number. For some reason, it hasn't been implemented nationwide yet. By the way, the US West payphones at MSP are interesting. SOrt of a cross between the AT&T Darth Vader phones and a stainless steel vending machine. Takes credit cards and allows selection of carrier by pressing a button (similar to the way some of the Ill Bell phones at O'Hare work), and also has a LCD window with status messages displayed. ken@cup.portal.com
