Each roommate selects an individual two-digit code (any number between 00 and 99). If the roommates are born in different years, the year of birth is a convenient code 2. For U.S. AT&T long-distance calls, a) dial: 0 + area code + number (for example 0-619-555-1212) b) on receiving the dial: 15nn (where nn is the individual 2 digit code) So the entire sequence for the example U.S. long-distance call is: 0-619-555-1212 15nn 3. For international calls, a) dial: 01 + country code + city code + number (for example 01-91-11-670619) b) on receiving the dial: 15nn (where nn is the individual 2 digit code) So the entire sequence for the example international call is: 01-91-11-670619 15nn In your phone bills, the long-distance calls will be sorted by the two-digit code Ravinder Bhumbla rbhumbla@ucsd.edu U. of California, San Diego [Moderator's Note: Does one have to specifically sign-up to use the Call Manager feature? The reason I ask is I just now made a zero plus call and and after the gong, entered 15xx, followed by the # to terminate dialing and speed the process. It was accepted no questions asked. I wonder what it will look like when billed. Incidentally, I see that 10732 is still accepting cals from non-subscribers also. PAT]
