I just got my AT&T Universal bill, and noticed that over 50% of the
cost of my long distance calls is due to the 75 cent per-call
surcharge which they tag onto all calling card calls. (I guess their
ads claiming you pay "only low AT&T rates" are a little bit
dishonest).

Are there calling cards without this extra fee?

PS: Thanks to all those who answered my question about answering machines
in Israel!
