I believe the 900-999.... Even slower than that one is the following, (900) 909-9999. This is Jeanne Dixon's Hot Stars line.... (no, I didn't call it, see below) >[Moderator's Note: I assume (don't know for sure) that 900-555-1212 is >a free call, According to the LD operator from here, (good old AT&T), 900-555-1212 is still a free call, despite it being a 900 number. When I called 900-555-1212, I got to listen to a LONG (about 3 minute) recording of services available via 900 number. The recording was (of course) scratchy, and barely audible during some portions. The numbers listed seemed to be in no particular order, just sort of jumbled in. The recording announced that calls to the 407 prefix were .45 per CALL, calls to the 350 prefix were .55 for the 1st Min/.35 each additional Min , and all other calls were charged at premium rates (NO, REALLY?!?)... I doubt many people use the 900-555-1212 number to find their 900 numbers. + Barrey Jewall ++ "My opinions are my opinions" + + barrey@novell.com ++ (rather self-evident, eh?) + + Novell, Inc.- San Jose, Calif.++ +
