[comp.dcom.telecom] Question About a Strange Number

Bill Huttig <wah@zach.fit.edu> (05/02/91)

800-555-0000 is the same as 10-288-1-700-555-4141. Although they end
up at the same place, any AT&T 800 number ending in 0000 gives you
that recording.  I think the original idea was to reserve 0000 on all
800 exchanges to identify the owner of that exchange. But it does not
hold true for other 800 providers.
