I recently made a call from a COCOT outside an eatery in Key West (on South Beach, perhaps the southernmost payphone in the cont. US), which had no number listed on it - and had 10288+ dialling disabled. Upon receiving my ATT bill I was suprised to see a call listed from Orlando FL 407-423-xxxx, whereas presumably, the number was 305-423-xxxx. Whose DB was broken? Southern Bell?, ATT?, the company that installed the phone? Presumably this happened in 1988 when 305 split. I guess what I'm asking is what is sent to ATT - a logical phone number, or some physical identifier that has to be matched for billing purposes? If I call that number, will it ring in Orlando or Key West? pc
