Every plan I've looked at had a "gotcha" somewhere
so I went to Sam's Wholesale Club and bought their
AT&T Calling card for $20 (200 minutes).  So far,
I've only found the following (minor) hassles:

1.  All LD calls require calling their 800 number, entering
     my card number, and dialing the number I'm trying to
     reach.
2.  They round up to the next minute on all calls.

Did I miss something?
