Message-ID: <875@rayssd.RAY.COM> Date: Sat, 25-Apr-87 21:47:08 EDT Article-I.D.: rayssd.875 Posted: Sat Apr 25 21:47:08 1987 Date-Received: Sat, 2-May-87 03:49:50 EDT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Reply-To: "Gregory M. Paris" Distribution: world Organization: Raytheon Sub Sig, Portsmouth RI Lines: 14 Approved: telecom@xx.lcs.mit.edu Not too long ago, I caught the tail end of a news item (TV that is) about emergency call boxes along some Massachusetts Interstates. As an aside, they mentioned that you can also contact the State(?) Police via a special dial sequence with a cellular phone. I didn't write it down, but it was something simple like *77. Does anybody know anything more about this? Are there more of these codes? Seems like the phone co. should mention these things to you when you get your cellular service, but no such list was provided for me... -- Greg Paris ............................. gmp@rayssd.RAY.COM (a UUCP domain) {cci632,cbosgd,gatech,ihnp4,linus,mirror,necntc,uiucdcs,umcp-cs}!rayssd!gmp .................
