While on vacation in Santa Fe, NM, last week, I tried to use my host's
telephone to place a calling-card call. When I dialed 10222+0+10D, I
got a recording indicating that a "It is not necessary to select a
long distance carrier for this call." I was trying to call NJ,
approximately 2,000 miles away. I somehow doubt that it was an
intra-LATA call! I tried 10333 and got the same recording. With no
carrier-select code, the call was processed normally, by AT&T. It
appears that the local switch is set up for equal access, but that two
of the three major carriers are not represented in Santa Fe. Does
anybody know if this is the case?
The phone I was using is served by Mountain Bell, of US West
Communications. The number is in the 505-983- group. The switch
sounded like some kind of ESS, but I didn't try to identify its type.
