I understand that there is some kind of exception to the MFJ that allows New York Telephone and New Jersey Bell to pass calls from their own LATAs to a limited set of prefixes in the LATA of the other party. New Jersey Bell uses the prefix 10-NJB and advertises heavily. New York Telephone, OTOH, doesn't say how they do this; 10-NYT gets intercepted, and the usual marketing droids didn't know how it's done. Since I suspect that NYT charges AT&T rates for this, and I wish to be sure of using my alternative LD service, how can I make it so? Does anyone connected with NYT (or not) have definitive information?
