I'm lost in telecom.hell!!! It is truly amazing that some carriers are still in business after the rigamarole I just went through with AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Allnet, et al. All I wanted to know was whether or not they currently provide 900-xxx-xxxx service. Part of the problem was that I don't know what name to call this service, which does present some problems when the people I called don't know either! After describing what I wanted in detail, then they checked to find out if they offered the service. Five to eight departmental transfers/phone calls later, the answer was: they don't know! Do you? I have already retrieved the list posted to this newsgroup listing three letter codes translating to 900 service providers. However, I do not have any contact information for many of them. I need, and would appreciate greatly, a list delineating: 1. The carrier's 900 offering name (so I can ask for it intelligently) 2. The carrier's phone number 3. Any additional info (rates, service quality, etc) At this point, the query time spent per carrier has become prohibitive; that is why I am counting on the renowned expertise of this forum for guidance. Of course, thank you in advance! email to: Bote uunet!cyclops!csense!bote {mimsy,sundc}!{prometheus,hqda-ai}!media!cyclops!csense!bote
