[other stuff deleted] There is one other difference.... AT&T will NOT bill you for calls from an AOS with certain AT&T cards. I got a little pamphlet explaining this "feature" with my bill several months ago. There was a little note at the bottom that said that this only applied to card numbers beginning with 677-1 and a few other prefixes. (I'll see if I can find the pamphlet if anyone wants more information about it.)
