Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
The Army & Air Force Exchange Service
(AAFES) partners with AT&T to deliver
call centers designed with specific military
requirements in mind to give deployed troops
affordable, reliable and dependable
communications. Six air conditioned AT&T
phone centers in Iraq recently underwent a
major renovation to make them even more
comfortable for troops to connect from the
front lines to the home front. There are
currently 48 phone centers in Iraq with more
than 1,200 telephones. Each phone center
contains 12, 24 or 48 phones. In Iraq alone,
total phone minute usage average was 324
minutes per phone per day for the month of
October, with the total minute usage in Iraq
reaching 11. 6 million minutes. In addition to
the six refurbished phone centers already
operational, AAFES plans to upgrade three
more by the end of the year. Any American,
even non-authorized exchange customers,
can also help troops make a phone call at any
of the 70 phone centers in Iraq, Kuwait,
Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan through AAFES'
"Help Our Troops Call Home" initiative.
This troop support effort makes it easy to
send a Military Exchange Global Prepaid
Phone Card to U. S. servicemembers
around the world. For more information
