Not only do you need to have an AT&T calling in the Southern Bell
billing area (or use MasterCard/Visa), but they cannot handle their
own corporate calling card clients.  Even thought the return address
for AT&T billing is in Orlando, FL the statement of charges is always
sent from Cincinnati, OH.

A nice note: they do plan on offering a USA-Direct version for when
you are out of the country and your time zone is off by 1/2 a day from
US locations.

[Moderator's Note: And yet, see two items in a Digest earlier today
from readers who used Bell telco cards from New England and California
without any hassle.  What gives here?  Is the VoiceMark man reading
this?  PT]
