Does anyone have any information about when/if I will ever be able to
call India on one of my calling cards at any point in the near future?
The ban on calls (due to fraud a few years back) has been one for at
least a few years (five?) and I'm curious as to whether there is still
a need or have all the LD servers simply forgotten?  There is
something inherrently wrong with carrying around over $3 in quarters.

[Moderator's Note: And how long does $3 get you? One minute? The ban
on using calling cards to international points seems to come and go
depending on various factors. Israel was banned for awhile, and now
seems to be open again from some areas. Call the AT&T International
Information Center for an answer:  1-800-874-4000.
