Good lord, are you still using an ILEC calling card going to whatever
ripoff AOS the payphone uses? Don't do that. I honestly don't
understand why ILECs even issue calling cards any more, since even the
normal rates from the ILECs and mainstream IXCs are absurdly high.

There's about a bazillion cheap calling cards available, both prepaid
and postpaid, all of which have an 800 access number. They cost what
they cost, the payphone only sees the 800 call. Is there some reason
you can't use one?

R's,

John
