I'd appreciate a bit of "how to do it" advice: the other day I was
caught a Logan airport with fouled up accomodation reservations at
my destination, so I whipped out my AmEx card and tried to use the
C-a-C-Plus phone.  Worked like a charm (one of the few times I've
felt that I got something out of the deregulation!).  BUT... I couldn't
figure out how to get directory assistance.  I tried a couple of things,
but each time it claimed that the number was "not reachable fromthis
phone".  Eventually, I went to a REAL pay phone, coughed up $.60
got my number and then called it from the CaC+.

*is* there some trick or technique or whatever for getting LD directory
assistance on your credit card?  (I don't have an AT+T Calling Card).

Thanks
