AT&T has added the following direct-dialable countries: 227 Niger 238 Cape Verde 267 Botswana 676 Tonga* 977 Nepal Tonga is a bit strange -- it was originally supposed to go in about two years ago and was cancelled; then it was supposed to go in with the other four and was supposedly cancelled again -- but it works, except via TSPS. Botswana was previously dialable by Sprint, but since Sprint never issued orders to have local operating companies put in the code 267, it was not really dialable for any Sprint customers except those with leased lines into Sprint switches. Now that AT&T has had the code put in, anyone can also call it on Sprint. /john
