I can confirm that AT&T "USA-Direct" service from Japan is terrific.  For one 
thing, while overseas services are usually only accessible from "Gold" public 
phones in the Tokyo area, USA-Direct seems to be available from the normal 
"Green" public phones.  In any case, the connections are clear and crisp and 
usage is simple.
