Excuse me, but I don't get the point. I can use 10Nnnn dialing either
with a "0" for credit card calls or a "1" for billed calls from
private phones. In fact, I've never known it to fail since private
phones never block anything (except 900 and such).

Is there something special about FON cards that I don't know about?
