I'm old-fashioned I know, but I continue to use a Telecard, so I can
make calls while overseas and have them billed to my home account.
Telstra used to have a (well-hidden) page that listed the access
numbers in all countries.
I went to print it out, and it's disappeared. (Web-pages seems to
have a half-life of a year or two, before another gormless 'designer'
sweeps everything clean, resulting in a vacuous 404 page appearing
instead).
The latest idiot has produced a page on which you can look up one
country at a time but can't see all at once, or even a few; and
(presumably by using some unnecessary and dysfunctional Javascript
instead of HTML) they've caused it to be unprintable.
Which is precisely what my real reactions to their ineptitude are ...
