Don't count on your phone cards working out of country either. In Aca Nada,
you MUST have  credit card, your ATT or SPRINT or whatever phone card
usually doesn't work for a long distance call. Tried this off of the IAT,
spent a frustrating hour trying to get through before giving up.

Once I knew where I was going, but now I have  forgotten.  Sometimes my mind
wanders.  Sometimes it goes alone, and other times it takes me along...this
isn't one of those times...
