- CARRIER 900/700 SERVICE
-
- WRITTEN BY TONE TEC
-
- On November 30, 1988, the FCC approved a tariff which makes
- 900/700 Services available to all Carriers. Prior to this,
- only AT&T provided information services thru 900 numbers.
- The 900/700 service offers enhanced information capabilities
- such as
- * interactive group conversations
- * recordings for weather status, sports scores, music
- news,etc.
-
- The 900/700 Service differs from the 976 product in that
- 900/700 Services are carried interLATA and interstate as
- opposed to intraLATA (LATA in telco lingo means Local Access
- Transport Area). Also the Carrier offers the Service to the
- Information Provider(IP) who is considered the Carrier's
- customer. This differs from 976 Service where the IP is the
- local telco's customer.
-
- But what does all this mean to you, John Phrack? Why, more
- confusion, of course, as to just who is handling your
- billing. Detail for 900/700 messages will appear on the
- appropriate Carrier toll page of your bill. Messages will be
- interspersed with other LD calls placed thru same carrier.
- The cost varies from 50 cents per minute to 2.00.
-
- The method used for reaching a 900 or 700 service differs.
- Calls to 900 numbers may always be completed by dialing
- 1+900+NNX+XXXX (NXX being the Exchange or C.O. code). Each
- 900 NNX is carrier specific and customers will not always be
- aware of which carrier is providing the service. Example: A
- customer with AT&T as the chosen 1+ carrier could dial an
- advertised 900# provided by Allnet. Since the service was
- reached without dialing Allnet's access code, the customer
- may expect the call to appear under AT&T's charges. WRONGO!
-
- Calls to 700 numbers are completed by dialing 1+700+NNX+XXXX
- or 10XXX+1+700+NNX+XXXX depending on the customers primary
- carrier. Each 700 NNX is not Carrier specific, therefore
- customers will be aware of which Carrier is providing the 700
- Service. Advertisements for 700 Services will appear with
- appropriate 5-digit Carrier code. Allnet Communications is
- the first carrier to process 700 Service messages. The
- content of the 700 Service may be a recorded message, live
- convo, or prompts to enter responses thru the use of TT
- keypad. "Live Convo" programs won't be monitored by local
- telco, but will be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by
- Allnet. (Are you kidding?)
-
- By the way, if you choose to abuse this service from home (or
- your best bud's home) there is a nifty device available to
- the Carrier call Selective Carrier Denial (SCD). This is an
- optional restriction service available to the carrier to
- restrict the end user from accessing their network via
- 1+,0+,00- and 10XXX dialing. This does not affect access to
- the local network. SCD is only designed to restrict customers
- with One-Party service.
-
- Surely there exists some exciting new phreaking
- potentialities out of all this.............................
