US Military

The MCI World Traveler cards works from all AA, AE, and AP locations worldwide at the current domestic U.S. rate of 6.1¢/min.

Deployed soldiers can call the Defense System Network (DSN) Worldwide operator at DSN 231-1311, and can get the number of the DSN switch nearest to their home, and call. The local DSN operator or the automated switch used on some posts will connect them to a civilian line. Then they can use a MCI phone card to call their home number at the regular U.S. long distance rates. However, there are a few possible complications. Tactical (green) phones do not use tones, which are necessary for automated systems. Soldiers using these lines must go through an operator (MCI operator at C.S. can facilitate the phone card call if necessary). Some post operators only work during duty hours and reroute the calls through regional or MACOM lines after duty hours. Since there is an 8-9 hour differential with SW Asia, for example, many calls come in after duty hours. Because of staffing, operator assistance may be limited, causing a long wait on the line, or perhaps dropping the call after a timeout. The Army is constantly trying to improve the system.
