I seem to recall quite some time ago seeing a discussion about
being able to bypass my equal-access carrier and use any of the
long distance carriers (even if not subscribed to) by prefixing
the number I wish to call with the proper 4 digit code (1022,
1088, etc.)
I was telling this to a friend and he was quite disbelieving. Now
I'm not sure if I remember it correctly.
Could someone explain if this is true and how it works? Also,
could someone repost a list of the 4 digit codes for the various
carriers?
Post or mail to me as appropriate.

If you dial 10XXX you will get the appropriate IXC regardless of your primary carrier. 2.

For those who aren't aware, Sprint offers another equivalent of the 950-1077 access. Dialing 10777# also allows one to enter an authorization ( billing) code and continue to dial a call. PacBell in California has introduced a state-wide prefix for business office calls... 811-XXXX where XXXX identifies the locale is a toll free way to reach any business office from anywhere in the state that Pac Bell serves. Area code can be any code within California with equivalent effect.
