The main reason is to protect you from getting charged by AOS's. I think by law the BOC/LEC numbers must be made available to all OCC's . Your BOC/LEC card should work using any carrier and will be billed on your local bill. OCC's can carry IntraLATA calls in some states but AT&T can not. AT&T said that they have problems with some of the LEC's accepting the new cards and the problem should be worked out shortly. Bill
