The 950 prefix is a very strange one indeed. It was created by Ma Bell,
|
|
God rest her soul, for all the SCC's (Specialized common carrier) to place
|
|
their services upon. This would have of benifit to them because they could
|
|
have the same dialup in all cities (for instance, SPC could be 950-1000
|
|
everywhere in the U.S.) For reasons I am unsure of, the carriers rejected
|
|
their proposal (but some SCC's are there anyway).
|
|
|
|
One of the disadvantages of the 950 prefix is that 950 is a special ESS
|
|
that can trace yourt calls so fast it would make your head spin, so use them
|
|
only from pay stations (Fortress Phones, Pay Booths, etc.).
|
|
|
|
Some of the nice things about them is that they (usually) give crystal
|
|
clear connections. Skyline and Lexitel are two that have these good
|
|
connections. Another thing is that 950 is a free call from a PayStation!
|
|
|
|
Bell was supposed to drag down the 950 prefix, but I guess they never got
|
|
around to doing it.
|
|
|
|
Here is the list of all the 950 numbers I know of at this time. But
|
|
remember, they trace at the first sign of trouble:
|
|
|
|
950-1000.....SPC (Southern Pacific Comm.)
|
|
950-1022.....MCI Execunet
|
|
950-1033.....U.S. Telephone (new company)
|
|
950-1044.....AllNet
|
|
950-1066.....Lexitel
|
|
950-1088.....SBS Skyline
|
|
|
|
This is it for now, I really don't know of anything else to contribute
|
|
then leave mail for The Courier.
