Nothing wrong with that, but I feel a tad differently. My brother and I
were in Germany some years back, and a family emergency came up. It was
important that we reach my mother back home immediately. John has Sprint,
I have AT&T. We tried three times to call the States using John's account
and couldn't get anywhere. I gave my calling card account code to the
overseas operator and we were connected to Tennessee in less than a minute
- with the bill going on my home phone account instead of ten times that
amount going on the hotel bill.

Since then, I've ignored all offers from any other long distance company.

I am not even remotely affiliated with AT&T, nor is my firm. Furthermore,
the above is not a position of Bellcore or its owners.
