Why can't the program the calling card database with the Visa number
instead of a different calling card .  MCI kind of does this with visa
phone ... some card numbers are 13 digits others 16 (+4 PIN) so why does
AT&T have to have 10 + 4 digit cards they could accept 16 + 4 digits?

The first three digits of their MC/Visa card is not the same as the
first three digits of any vaid phone # or any vaid NPA.
