[comp.dcom.telecom] telephone carriers

1. Are codes like 10222 and 10288 supposed to work from residence and
   business phones as well as pay ones?

2. I just passed through the Lynchburg, Va. area, and used a pay phone
   (ostensibly C&P) to place a 0+ call inter-LATA, and it went via ITI.
   (I guess that means: ugh.)

At a relative's home in Indianapolis 10288 works just fine [yep, I'm
trying to make a conversion....:-) :-)].  I would assume that nearly
all BOC locations can handle this now from residential locations, but
some of the smaller independents may still be a bit behind the times.
