Just a reminder to all of us when staying in hotels or using
(Shudder!) COCOT's.

If you don't hear "Thank you for using AT&T" or "Thank you for
calling, on Pacific Bell" (or your local equivalent), the chances are
that it ain't.  Also, it an Operator answers with "Operator", be sure
to ask "Which one?"

I was recently burned on an intra-LATA credit card call that showed up
on my bill as from "ELCATEL."  The call was $1.68 and should have been
$.86 on Pacific Bell.  I shoulda known.
