        Reminds me of a call I made through ITT (10999) recently to
312/772-0347 (recently disconnected)...  instead of getting the usual
recording from Illinois Bell (like I would get using US Sprint or
AT&T) I got a message telling me that "ITT is unable to complete my
call to this number.  Please hang up, dial 10288, then one plus the
area code and number.  AT&T will bill you for the call".......
