Who is 1088?
There is an ad (in Computer Retail News) that gies the number to dial as
Newfangled toll-free phone:
950-1088 (tone) 2-CRANIUM
If no access try
800-446-4462 (tone) 2-CRANIUM
who is supplying the service? Looks like a telemarketing service that
has national access as if it were an ALDC.
[950-1088 was SBS, now MCI. Like the other carriers, they are stuck
offering non-800 toll-free numbers. These services ("InSprint") have
been available for years, but the confusion in usage obviously
inhibits their effectiveness. -elmo]
