AT&T just lowered the rates to several countries effective 2 Jan, and this is
what I've been able to get:
 
  7A-1P		  1P-6P		  6P-7A
1.65  .99	1.23  .75	 .99  .60	U.K.
 
1.89 1.14	1.41  .86	1.13  .69	Eire
 
1.94 1.09	1.46  .82	1.16  .65	Germany, France, Switzerland,
						Italy, Sweden, Netherlands,
						Norway, Denmark, Spain, 
						Belgium, Austria
 
2.17 1.22	1.63  .92	1.30  .73	Greece, Gibralter, Finland,
						Luxembourg
 
2.23 1.25	1.67  .94	1.33  .75	Czechoslovakia, G.D.R., Romania
						Portugal, Poland, Yugoslavia,
						Iceland, Turkey, Cyprus,Hungary
 
  6A-12N	  12N-5P	  5P-6A
2.12 1.09	1.60  .81	1.27  .66	South Africa
 
  2P-8P		  8P-3A		  3A-2P
3.62 1.35	2.72 1.03	2.17  .81	Australia
 
Remember that AT&T is not the only company providing voice service; you can
(from many exchanges) prefix your call with 10222 for MCI or 10777 for GTE.
With AT&T's new rates, they are the cheaper than GTE to the U.K. for calls
lasting longer than three to seven minutes.  By the way, if you have chosen
a carrier other than AT&T as your default, you have to prefix 10288 to get
AT&T, even for countries not served by your carrier.  The other companies do
not currently serve as many countries as AT&T, but GTE provides dial service to
Bangladesh and Botswana, which requires an operator via AT&T.
