[comp.dcom.telecom] Attendant Required For Message to New York State

cmoore@brl.mil (VLD/VMB) (01/28/91)

I have sent an AT&T Voicemark message (via call to 800-562-6275) to a
telephone number in New York state.  During the call, I got a message,
apparently prompted by the recognition of a New York area code, that
New York state law requires an attendant to deliver the message
(understood to mean that automated delivery is not allowed); however,
the automated option was still available (I then talked to an
attendant who told me that the message would have been rejected by
AT&T if I had selected the automated option); I had selected the
attendant-delivery option anyway.
