I tried it, unknowingly, two days ago.  I used a COT which proudly
proclaimed that credit-card calls from it were handled by AT&T.  After
I entered my Universal Card number, a recorded voice told me that US
Sprint couldn't handle my call with this card number.

Fortunately, this was a Genuine New England Telephone COT, so 10288
worked with no problem.
