- If you are calling the "home" number associated with the card, you can
- usually just type in the card number (instead of the phone number then
- the card number). This will generally give you the "two-tone" and
- connect you with your home number.

- I have done this with both Sprint and MCI cards, so I would guess that
- it's standard. No guarantees -- your mileage may vary. :-)
