Randolph J. Herber <rjh@yclept.chi.il.us> has kindly passed along a very comprehensive listing of cellular carrier ID codes to us. These are the five digit codes programmed in the NAM of your cellular phone which identify the 'home' carrier, i.e. 00001 being Cellular One in Chicago, 00020 being Ameritech, etc. This list is far too long for a Digest, so it has been put in the Telecom Archives under the title 'cellular.carrier.codes'. Look for it there if you want a copy for reference purposes. My thanks to Mr. Herber for this donation to the archives. The Telecom Archives can be accessed by anonymous ftp at lcs.mit.edu. Once logged in, then 'cd telecom-archives'. The archives mail server method can also be used to access these files: bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu or bitftp@princeton.bitnet. Patrick Townson
