In reply to your  comment, Patrick,  companies of Mercury's  ilk don't like
you asking for their  access  codes. They think you are  trying to find the
full format  of  the  codes  (including the   authorisation  codes used for
billing)  in order to  crack their system, which  I am not  of course.  The
code is in fact 133,  an operator-like  code.   Thanks  to Peter Morgan  at
Brighton for supplying the information.

I know of the following operator-like codes in the UK, anyone care to add
to these:

100	Operator Services
133	Mercury Access Number
142	London Directory Enquiries (from London numbers only)
150	Phone Hardware Enquiries (maybe only locally defined)
151	Fault reports
153	International Directory Enquiries
155	International Operator
191	Other Enquiries
192	Directory Enquiries
