[Moderator's Note: By the way, I tested calling Israel today with my
AT&T card and the call went through ... wonder of wonders ...  I got
blocked due to the heavy calling, but not a word about using my card.
They must turn that feature of their security system off and on as
desired (or badgered by the public).
