Here, taken from a flyer sent out by the Teleconsumer Hotline people, is an expanded carrier list. They are pretty good people; it's a splinter group of something called the Telecommunications Research and Action center, located in Washington DC. Call them at 800 332 1124 to get a similar list for your own local area. There will be a lot of overlap, so you may find this helpful. [Equal access codes are prefixed with 10, of course..] EA Company Cust. svc [serving area, code name number defaults to "most"] --------------------------------------------------------------- tba Garden State Telemktg. 201 539 6900 [Northern Jersey] 007 Telemarketing 202 783 7213 [DC, Philly, parts of VA] 054 Eastern Telephone 215 628 4111 [Philly] 066 Lexitel 800 631 4835 211 RCI 800 458 7000 [phy pbg +] 220 WU ???

The carrier codes may vary, but the larger ones seem to have the same number everywhere [how did they arrange this, I wonder??]. _H* -------
