A RF transaction device stores multiple distinct calling card accounts
associated with a calling card account. The multiple calling card
accounts may be issued by multiple calling card carriers. An RF operable
reader is in communication with a telephonic call enabling device. The RF
transaction device communicates with the reader to retrieve calling card
account information. Since the RF device has multiple distinct credit
card account numbers stored on the transaction device, the RF transaction
device may be used to effectuate a calling card call on different call
carrier systems using differently formatted call authorizing systems.
