Dealing with the Rate & Route Operator
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It seems that fewer and fewer people have blue boxes these days, and
|
|||
|
|
that is really too bad. Blue boxes, while not all that great for making free
|
|||
|
|
calls (since the TPC can tell when the call was made, as well as where it was
|
|||
|
|
too and from), are really a lot of fun to play with. Short of becoming a real
|
|||
|
|
live TSPS operator, they are about the only way you can really play with the
|
|||
|
|
network.
|
|||
|
|
For the few of you with blue boxes, here are some phrases which may
|
|||
|
|
make life easier when dealing with the rate & route (R&R) operators. To get
|
|||
|
|
the R&R op, you send a KP + 141 + ST. In some areas you may need to put
|
|||
|
|
another NPA before the 141 (i.e., KP + 213 + 141 + ST), if you have no local
|
|||
|
|
R&R ops.
|
|||
|
|
The R&R operator has a myriad of information, and all it takes to get
|
|||
|
|
this data is mumbling cryptic phrases. There are basically four special
|
|||
|
|
phrases to give the R&R ops. They are NUMBERS route, DIRECTORY route, OPERATOR
|
|||
|
|
route, and PLACE NAME.
|
|||
|
|
Yo get an R&R an area code for a city, one can call the R&R operator
|
|||
|
|
and ask for the numbers route. For example, to find the area code for Carson
|
|||
|
|
City, Nevada, we'd ask the R&R op for "Carson City, Neavda, numbers route,
|
|||
|
|
please." and get the answer, "Right... 702 plus." meaning that 702 plus 7
|
|||
|
|
digits gets us there.
|
|||
|
|
Sometimes directory assitance isn't just NPA + 131. The way to get
|
|||
|
|
these routings is to call R&R and ask for "Anaheim, Calafornia, directory
|
|||
|
|
route, please." Of course, she'd tell us it was 714 plus, which means 714 + 131
|
|||
|
|
gets us the D.A. op there. This is sort of pointless example, but I couldn't
|
|||
|
|
come up with a better one on short notice.
|
|||
|
|
Let's say you wanted to find out how to get to the inward operator for
|
|||
|
|
Sacremento, California. The first six digits of a number in that city will be
|
|||
|
|
required (the NPA and an NXX). For example, let us usem 916 756. We would call
|
|||
|
|
R&R, and when the operator answered, say, "916 756, operator route, please."
|
|||
|
|
The operator would say, "916 plus 001 plus." This means that 916 + 001 + 121
|
|||
|
|
will get you the inward operator for Sacramento.
|
|||
|
|
Do you know the city which corresponds to 503 640? The R&R operator
|
|||
|
|
does, and will tell you that it is Hillsboro, Oregon, if you sweetly ask for
|
|||
|
|
"Place name, 503 640, please."
|
|||
|
|
For example, let's say you need the directory route for Sveg, Sweden.
|
|||
|
|
Simply call R&R, and ask for, "International, Baden, Switzerland. TSPS
|
|||
|
|
directory route, please." In response to this, you'd get, "Right... Directory
|
|||
|
|
to Sveg, Sweden. Country code 46 plus 1170." So you'd route yourself to an
|
|||
|
|
international sender, and send 46 + 1170 to get the D.A. operator in Sweden.
|
|||
|
|
Inward operator routings to various countries are obtained the same way
|
|||
|
|
"International, London, England, TSPS inward route, please." and get "Country
|
|||
|
|
code 44 plus 121." Therefore, 44 plus 121 gets you inward for London.
|
|||
|
|
Inwards can get you language assitance if you don't speak the language.
|
|||
|
|
Tell the foreign inward, "United Staes calling. Language assitance in
|
|||
|
|
completing a call to (caled party) at (called number)."
|
|||
|
|
R&R operators are people are people too, y'know. So always be polite,
|
|||
|
|
make sure use of 'em, and dial with care.
