Previously in this thread, it's been mentioned that Telecom*USA's offering of 1-700 dialing for intraLATA/intraNPA calls offers only pricing convenience, and not dialing convenience. I must suggest that in some areas, it may offer both... If Telecom*USA were to offer 1+ service from my area (they don't), and, of course, I had selected them as my primary carrier, I would now be able to make intraLATA long distance calls over my primary (normally interLATA only) carrier by dialing only a one or two digit Speed Calling code. My local switch (a #1A ESS, I believe) will not store 10XXX prefices, but will happily store an entire 1-700 number. My LATA (#566) resides entirely within the 512 NPA, so the intraLATA/interNPA restriction wouldn't apply here. A. Alan Toscano Voice: 512 696 0307 MCI Mail: ATOSCANO P. O.
