On a recent visit to Phoenix, I stayed at an otherwise very nice hotel that had AOS (NTS, I think). When it was time to call my wife, I called the receptionist and asked how to access ATT and MCI. She told me to dial 9-10288+ for ATT (9 was the access code for (free) local calls). In a flash of inspiration, I dialed 9-950-1022+ and the call went through. No billing on the room bill. Serves them right. / Lars Poulsen (800) 222-7308 or (805) 963-9431 ext 358 ACC Customer Service Affiliation stated for identification only My employer probably would not agree if he knew what I said !!
