Still not apples to apples. If you dial 10333+0+, you will have to enter in or give the operator an AT&T card number -- your FO(O)N Card won't work. Unless you dial 800 877-8000, Sprint won't accept its OWN CARD NUMBER! At least AT&T accepts one number for alternative billing no matter how you make your call. John Higdon | P. O.
