I agree...highway robbery by ATT. As much as they can charge Stateside at times, they can afford to give our military a bit of a break, IMHO!

Is that the only phone card access you have? I have an inquiring mind. *grin*

Yep... that's the only card access we have. And, to top it off, there are only a select few Sailor Phones on the ship. But, I have to say, that I remember my first ship back in the 80's that we only had INMARSAT at (ready for this.....) $35.00 a minute!! We also utilized HAM radios for when we were close to shore and could pick up other HAM radio operators who could then patch a call stateside.
