In an issue of TELECOM Digest dated June 20, a writer said that Kuwait, before international DDD, had a U.S. area code. As you know, Kuwait has been invaded since then. I found that calls to Kuwait (country code 965) are being intercepted with message "914-1T": "Due to an emergency situation in the country you are calling, your call cannot be completed at this time. Please try your call again later."

This is used, as needed, to trouble-shoot things in the network. I can tell that you are presubscribed to AT&T, and this call entered the network at the 4 ESS in White Plains, New York. Thanks for using AT&T! Bryan Richardson AT&T Bell Laboratories

[ all about .. >Thanks for using AT&T!] Talk about routing! - Dialing +914 from South Africa is intercepted with the message 'Due to difficulties in Kuwait, telephone service is not available - British Telecom will resume services as soon as possible.' How many other non-USA countries use BT to do routing to Kuwait? I wonder if this implies that any country that South Africa does not route directly to is routed via BT?

How can you tell that he is presubscribed rather than using 10288+011? I thought there was no way for the IEC to know whether a call comes in through presubscription or on-the-fly choice until they compare the ANI with their subscription database. If you simply meant "you are using AT&T", that's different. cowan@marob.masa.com (aka ...!hombre!marob!cowan)
