One person today even offered to have it removed I've seen a few messages recently suggesting that there are interesting services (*60, *69, *72, I think) which I do not havem but which I would like. My RBOC (New England Telephone, on 617-227) knows nothing of these. Does anyone have a list of them, and are there any secret words one needs to know in order to convince them to provide you with the service? If anyone has a list, with dialing codes, service name, and short description, that would be great. Oh, yes, and the magic words too! Jim [Moderator's Note: There are no magic words or secret codes. Either your phone switch is equipped with CLASS or it is not. If it is, and has been for awhile, then all the reps seem to know about it. If it is very new, or in beta test (as it is here apparently, now I am told), then there will be a lot of confusion among reps as to what is and what is not available. Now that mine is installed and my contacts at IBT are aware of it, they call *me* a couple times a week to see how it is working. The codes are: *60 = invoke call screening; *80 = suspend call screening; *66 = Repeat Dialing; *69 = Auto callback to the last call you received. PAT]
