Message-ID: Date: 17 Mar 89 19:40:35 GMT Sender: news@vector.UUCP Lines: 17 Approved: telecom-request@vector.uucp X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.uucp X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 100, message 2 of 7 It's not just COCOTS that are getting into the act of disabling keypads. This past November (a long time ago, sorry... I hope they fixed it by now) I was in Kennedy Airport trying to place a calling card call. Neither 1-0-288 -0- nor 0- would leave the keypad enabled for me to type my calling card number. I believe 1-0-288 didn't connect me with ATT. My traveling companion said they use a different access scheme. I was very frustrated. The posted dialing instructions on the NYNEX pay phone simply didn't work. Any suggestions what I should do if this happens again? From the 'desk' of _ /| Bill (the) CATTey... \'o.O' ~(___)~ THSHVPPPOOO! U ACH!
