A May 1987 bill insert from Bell of Pennsylvania suggests that customers
use the PIC code of 1-0-B-P-A when calling to South Jersey in order to
"automatically save 10% off AT&T's regular long-distance rates for these
calls..."
I remember hearing that there is some deal that lets Bell of PA (and, I think,
New York Tel.) handle inter-LATA traffic into parts of New Jersey. That's
OK. What puzzled me was the following sentence: "If you've already chosen
Bell of Pennsylvania as your long-distance company, there's no need to dial
'1-0-B-P-A.'"
Now, I do sleep eight hours a night so I may have missed something, but
I do know that BOCs can not be long-distance carriers. How could some-
one have Bell of PA as their primary carrier?
