However, several months ago, I was in the UK and had no problems with USA Direct. The AT&T operator placed the call with no questions asked. Billing was as the Moderator described. I paid for the international leg, the callee paid for the domestic portion. It caught me off gaurd when the bill arrived, as the international portion showed up as some place in Pennsylvania. Dialing that number reached an AT&T recording explaining the billing was for an internationally placed 800 call - a nice touch! Ken
