This reply constitutes my own thoughts on the subject and not necessarily
the thoughts of my employer.
Some more thoughts on selection criteria:
1. Do non-AT&T carriers provide clear transmission ?
2. Do non-AT&T carriers charge for misdials and wrong numbers ?
3. Do non-AT&T carriers charge for connects even though called
   parties weren't home ?
4. Do non-AT&T carriers charge with low granularity ?
I.E.:
you've just completed a call that lasted 3.546 minutes. Do you
get charged for 3.546 minutes, or for 3.55 minutes, or for 3.60
minutes or 4 minutes ? It adds up fast.
