I don't know what the official situation is, but I was in Japan about
a year ago and tried to call the US on my PacBell Calling Card, but
KDD (the primary Japanese international carrier) declined to accept
the "International Number" but was willing to accept the (normal)
calling card number. I ended up not using it anyway since the hotel
operator warned me that for some reason that particular hotel charged a
service fee for credit card calls (including foreign cards) but not
for collect calls, so I called collect.
