- Well, it doesn't work from 404. Here's the results of my poking around:
-
- From home (404) 634-xxxx with AT&T as my default carrier I got a
- reorder. If I just dial the 404-988-9664 part, then all I ever get is
- a busy signal.
-
- From work (404) 894-xxxx with MCI as the default carrier I got a
- recording telling me that it was not necessary to dial a 1 with this
- number.
-
- I redialed it this time without the 1. I got a recording that said
- that I must first dial a 1 or a 0 plus the area code when calling this
- number.
-
- I redialed it again. This time with a 0 instead of a 1. I got a
- recording telling me that it was not necessary to dial a _1_ (no,
- that's not a typo) with this number.
-
- If I pick up our WATS line and dial this number (I have no idea what
- company provides the service), then all it does is ring.
-
- Strange results from 404 land. Anyone got any ideas here?
