When I flew recently from Philadelphia to Los Angeles and back, I saw
GTE airphones in use on board.  It requires a credit card (which could
be AT&T) to release it for use, and charges $2 (U.S.)  for setup and
$2/minute of the call.  Aside from 0 operator help, calls are dialed
with area code + seven digits, no leading 0 or 1.
