[comp.dcom.telecom] Sprint lines .. sorry ma bell, me too

efb@ames.arc.nasa.gov (Everett F. Batey II) (09/15/88)

Are there any public administrative remedies for one little local phone
company refusing to let me use my AT&T calling card from a residence phone?

Thought that the reason the tarriffs allowed calling cards was to allow me /
my employer to obtain reasonable rates in placing calls when away from home.

It wasn't so long ago Sprint offered my family their card *for use while away
from home*... then took the liberty of redefining themselves as our EXCLUSIVE
toll service provider.  NOW, I find it is not possible to use others phones
to place calls with my preferred carrier.

I would appreciate suggestions as to any known administrative remedies ... I am
frankly shocked by their conduct.

Haven't been keeping up with this group, but are you sure you're dialing
102880 before placing your att credit card call from a non att 1+ phone?
you might check with your local business office or Operator.
