Yes, if you have no problem with obtaining the source code and patching
it to deal with that in some way.  The thing is this: there really is no
way for the Dialer application (which is the same application that shows
the call logs) to know that the number that you're dialing is a calling
card.  It records the number that you dialed, because that's what it's
supposed to do.  Once the line is connected, everything after that is
essentially opaque.

There are a few possibilities that I can think of that would work around
*some* instances of this problem, but I can think of no solution that
would work universally and completely without messing something up.
