Well, the story is actually about AT&T.

I was in GTE country in Novato, CA, (415-897) and was trying to call a
Cellular One prefix (415-309).  The AT&T operator, who handles GTE
operator service, couldn't (a) get a cost on the call and (b) put the
call through.  Calling from the restaurant phone, also GTE, but not
coin service, the call went through just fine.
