I am going to Japan at the end of the next week (7/15). I want to be able to call US phone numbers from Japan and to charge to my phone number (of course my home). Could someone know how to do this ? I do not have any phone card. I even do not know who is our long distance carrier. Any number to call ? Can something be arranged within a week ? Thank you very much. - Shozo [Moderator's Note: You can detirmine your long distance carrier by dialing 1-700-555-1212 *from your own phone* and listening to the recorded message which follows. I doubt that you can get a calling card account set up in a week. If AT&T is your default carrier, call 1-800-222-0300 for assistance on this, but I think you are not allowing enough time. Without a calling card you will have to pay locally for the calls unless you can convince the people you are calling here to accept your calls collect. Or, if someone is going to be at your home number while you are gone, by using the 'USA- Direct' service of AT&T, the United States operator will attempt to get an okay for third number billing to your home.
