Could someone please explain? (Forgive me if this has been answered before.)

On the other hand, you look at your NJB card when charging local calls. See the difference? Actually, AT&T and the Sisters Bell have yet to separate the calling card data base which they used in common for so many years. When they do, one or the other will give you a different number, or at least a different PIN. In any event, it is the computers at NJB which administer it now for both companies. PT]
