Reading about the fellow who dialed 10988-1-700-1-555-1414 and getting a carrier made me want to try -- From my default carrier, 1-700-555-1414 gets me a message 'you have reached the AT&T Long Distance Service. Thank you for choosing AT&T'. When I dial 10988-1-700-555-1414 I recieve a message saying 'the number you dialed cannot be reached with the carrier access code you have chosen. Please check the access code and dial your call again, or ask your long distance service representative for assistance. This is a recording 312-1B.' Apparently we don't get Western Union access up here, because 10988-anything failed to go through, returning the aforementioned intercept message instead.
