BellSouth has a listing of (some) IXCs that provide service in our
LATA, listed in the white pages of the phone book.  Resellers are
rarely listed (unless they have their own CIC code), but most if not
all facilities-based carriers are.

Pun intended (MCI's "proof positive" ads from awhile ago)?

My LD carrier charges a "flat" in-state rate (certain per-minute rate
applies all the time); on weekends they are higher than Sprint's
"BASE" rate.  So on weekends, I just dial 10333+ for in-state calls.

As for AT&T, I have never dealt with a ruder company than them.  I
won't go back there -- ever.
