      Noticing all the questions about ring-backs, I thought I'd send this one
in...it's for finding out what number you're calling from, though.

      In the Boston area (at least), the number is 1-200-555-1212. I assume
the last four digits may be anything, but I haven't tried it out, yet. I
suggest you not use it too much, though, lest the phone company catch on and
change it.

      Does anyone know what the number for this "service" is out in Southern
California (Los Angeles area, specifically)? And also the ring-back number out
there?

      Quick responses would be much appreciated, for I leave for home (for
good...graduating) on 17 Jan 87...thanxz!!!
