On Sept 27th, 1990 Israel started Calling Card service to AT&T.
People in Israel can contact the AT&T operator directly by calling
177-100-2727 (177 is the Israeli 800 code).
 
Calling Card charges are $5.48 for the 1st minute and $1.20 for every
minute thereafter.  If a collect call is made, it is $8.76 for the 1st
minute and $1.20 for every minute after that.
 
People in Israel can get Calling Cards if one has a mailing address
and phone number in the USA willing to receive the card.  AT&T has
indicated that once an account is established, the billing can be
transferred to an Israeli address.

[Moderators Note: An ineresting story to say the least, especially
since Israel is one of the countries red-lined from card calls in
certain neighborhoods of our larger cities.
