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.

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.
