[mod.telecom] 10xxx from pay phones

prindle@NADC.ARPA (08/22/86)

Here in Bell-of-Pa territory, you just dial 10xxx-1-xxx-xxx-xxxx and
it ties you in to 10xxx's switch waiting for your authorization number
- no need to follow the authorization by the number being called,
since it has already been entered.

     I  have  been getting replies in private mail telling me  to 
use  the following method:  10xxx+1+xxx-xxx-xxxx <wait for  tone> 
charge  code.   That would work fine except for the fact  that  I 
don't have an account with any of the companies and was hoping to 
not need one.  What I am interested in doing is using 10xxx [Easy 
Access]  from a pay phone by putting in coins to pay for the call 
at the chosen ALDS's rates.  Is this possible?

     As  there  are a few more  people  interested,  please  'cc' 
telecom  with  your  answer(s)  to save lazy-me  the  trouble  of 
forwarding messages all over the place.   Thanks for all of  your 
replies  to  date;  now  if we could only get the  phone  company 
operators to bone up on this stuff... :-)
