 SOmeone could decide to use an "adult chat" service originating out of Santo Domingo as a Phone-a-Friend.

 "Hello! This is Regis!"

"Mmm, baby, I'm so hot for you..."

"Um, right. We have your friend Kevin here, and he needs your help!"

"Ooooh, give it to me, baby...."

"O-kay. Kevin, you have 30 seconds. I have a feeling you've gotten it done in much, much less. Good luck..."

Two guesses:

1)  The AT&T promotional contract stated that AT&T would not pay for international calls.

2)  Now that Disney's paying for the Phone-a-Friends, *they* don't want to pay for international calls.

goongas:
It probably also would have to do with international laws concerning contests.  They don't want to have to deal with them.
