   I used to sell WATS, 800 and 900 service for ATT/Mountain Bell but
I never heard of 700 service until just recently.  I'm sure someone
out there who will enlighten me(us).

[Moderator's Note: 700 is used by the various LD carriers for special
features and services of their own. For example, AT&T uses it for
their Alliance Teleconferencing; Telecom USA has its Voice News
Network on those lines, etc.  When you dial 700-xxx-xxxx, *which* 700
you get depends on your default LD carrier. Dialing 700-555-4141 will
identify the LD carrier serving your line with one plus dialing.   PAT]
