HELP!!! I'm lost in telecom.hell!!!
It is truly amazing that some carriers are still in business after
the rigamarole I just went through with AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Allnet,
et al.
All I wanted to know was whether or not they currently provide
900-xxx-xxxx service. Part of the problem was that I don't know
what name to call this service, which does present some problems
when the people I called don't know either! After describing what
I wanted in detail, then they checked to find out if they
offered the service. Five to eight departmental transfers/phone
calls later, the answer was: they don't know!
Do you? I have already retrieved the list posted to this newsgroup
listing three letter codes translating to 900 service providers. However,
I do not have any contact information for many of them.
I need, and would appreciate greatly, a list delineating:
1. The carrier's 900 offering name (so I can ask for it intelligently)
2. The carrier's phone number
3. Any additional info (rates, service quality, etc)
At this point, the query time spent per carrier has become prohibitive;
that is why I am counting on the renowned expertise of this
forum for guidance. Of course, thank you in advance!

ATT offers the service under the name of Dial-it 900. I just called up and asked, and they sent me a brochure. I believe other companies are now making it availble. There is also the local equivelent (976, 540..) that is sold by the local operating companies.
