[comp.dcom.telecom] talk lines through Allnet

David_W_Tamkin@cup.portal.COM.UUCP (06/02/88)

Locally there are commercials airing for two talk lines that give their numbers
as 1-0-444-1-700-975-TEEN and 1-0-444-1-700-975-GABB.  Yes, they advertise the
entire string for using Allnet's secondary carrier code.  Presumably, someone
with Allnet for 1+ service could start with 1-700-.

I'm not about to shell out to try them, so I don't know what would happen if
one tried to reach them through any other carrier, nor can I say whether people
with established Allnet accounts would see the charges on the Allnet bill or
the bill from the LOC.

"Locally" means WFLD-TV, channel 32, the Fox affiliate in Chicago.
