It does not seem to matter if I am calling via AT&T, MCI, or Sprint except that Sprint cut me off. (Past tense on purpose). Whenever I recieve a call from Japan, I cannot help but notice how clear everything sounds. I just received a call and it sounded as if the person was in the same room. Truely remarkable as many of my local calls do not sound this clear. Do you think GTE has special processing for calls from Japan? :-) David Gast
