How exactly does the 10xxx method work? I know it is only available on ESS networks (the other spits it back out) and it is for using an ALDS. Could I, for instance, use it like so: I chose AT&T, but would like to use MCI for a certain call; I dial 10xxx (xxx being MCI's ALDS I.D. code #), then the areacode and number? Or would I have to have chosen MCI as my carrier to do this? This would be ideal, as I could flip-flop between companies depending on their rates while still keeping AT&T for normal useage. Also, is there a list of the 10xxx codes that I can choose from get somewhere? Thanks in advance for your help... [Most ALDS' who have billing arrangements with the local telco will allow you to place calls through them via 10XXX dialing, even if you have not chosen them as your primary carrier. SBS, whose rates are typically significantly lower, does not. -elmo] --Arun Baheti arpa: NBaheti.es@Xerox.COM uucp: ...litvax!flkvax!trwrb!group3!anb02!arun arpa: Bug%Mit-OZ@Mit-MC [PLEASE reply to Xerox if possible!] RCPM: CP/M Connection @ 213-530-0670 [24hrs; 300/1200/2400]
