I was recently in Steamboat Springs, Colorado (the skiing was great, by
the way), and you had to deposit 40 cents in the pay phone to make a
AT&T credit card call.  Doesn't this partially defeat one of the purposes
of using a credit card, which is to avoid having to carry a pocket full
of change?

Here in Somerville, Mass, you can even use a credit card to avoid the 10
cent coin deposit on local calls from a pay phone.
