Path: utzoo!telecom-request Date: Sat, 27 Apr 91 15:27:33 -0400 From: Bill Huttig Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: AT&T and 10xxx vs 800 Message-ID: Organization: TELECOM Digest Sender: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 310, Message 9 of 11 Lines: 19 I received some info on AT&T's USADirect Service and it notes an 800 number (800 872-2881) for calls from Bermuda, Dom. Rep. etc.. (I think this for all the countries in the 809 area code). When the number is dialed from my home (407-676 Melbourne, FL) I receive the following recording: "The 800 number you have diailed is not yet in service ... Please try this number at a later date." Does this mean that AT&T will offer access to their network via 800 number in the future? [Moderator's Note: I think what it means is that someone at the local telco serving 407-676 misprogrammed the response code which is played when the number is dialed. I think they meant to say merely, 'the number is not in service from your area ...' PAT]
