[net.consumers] Some phone numbers to call

warren@pluto.UUCP (Warren Burstein) (12/18/85)

The discussion of obscene 976's started me thinking: how does one
find out about all the available 976's?  I know there are all sorts
of information services around the NY area in this exchange but
I don't know what they are.  How do you know what you will be charged
for a call, and who will be receiving it?

I have found several books in the reference section of *large* bookstores
(e.g. Barnes & Noble in a big mall) which are telephone directories for
dial-it services, etc.   They were kind of expensive so I didn't buy any
of them (sorry).

David Letterman once had an interview with some guy who wrote some book
which was a directory of every toll-free number in existence.  This was
really neat, especially since these calls don't cost nothin'!
