- I tried it from a couple of phones in the 716 area code.
-
- My home is serviced by an independent co that doesn't, I found out,
- support 10xxx service. I got a "can't complete the call, try again",
- type message.
-
- I then tried it from a NYTel pay phone in Buffalo. It returned my
- quarter then asked for $2.60 USD. My curiosity piqued -- a not
- alltogether uncommon situation -- I plopped in the change and ... it
- works.
