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
|
||
ttleave
|
||
mail for The Courier.
