I used a COCOT on 703-261 prefix in Buena Vista, Va. last Saturday,
and after I had punched in credit card number (and waited for verifi-
cation), I got (before my call went thru, which it did) a recording
saying (this should be pretty much exact):  "Thank you for using ITI.
If busy or no answer, press 1 to leave a 1 minute message.".

This suggests that this particular COCOT does indeed offer extra service
not available with some other carriers.  Also, it reminds me of that
MESSAGE SERVICE note I copied off a phone at Finksburg, Md. recently.
