It ain't right, > but it's the sad truth. When I found that my school was blocking 950, I called the telecommunications manager to complain. She insisted that 950 was a toll call since it did not appear on the telco's list of local prefixes. She was rather insistent, so I gave up on her. Instead, I walked down to the switchroom and talked to the guy in charge of maintaining the switch. I used his speakerphone to call the telco operator and ask how much it cost to call 950. When the operator replied that the call was free, he walked over to the terminal and entered it in the database of allowed prefixes. Sometimes it takes this kind of personal effort to get things like this done right.
