>I think it's *hilarious* what MCI tells you if you want an operator: >10222 + 0 + number yields "For operator assistance, please hang up and dial >10288 plus the area code and number you are calling". They don't yet do >the go-to-switch-parse-authorization-code-complete-call thing... This recording is there PRIMARILY for the people who have chosen MCI as their primary carrier and are trying to make a collect, AT&T calling card, or person to person call. This person would have just dialed 0+, but would have been switched to MCI because MCI is the primary carrier for the line. MCI doesn't really seem to want to use the equal access trunks for anything but equal access customers; they want the rest of their customers on the other lines. /john
