If this is so, it is only right, since NYNEX also does not accept MCI Sprint, or other common carrier credit cards (not ot mention Visa, etc.) We are recommending to our faculty that they only get an AT&T card if they are travelling overseas and need to call back here. We encourage Baby Bell cards because they are going to be much more flexible as time goes on. Kath Mullholand UNH, Durham, NH
