say, "Hello?........Sure. hangup|" This will enable you to make a third party
billing call to anyone and use the mailphone system as the party paying for
the call. The operator will cal up the mailphone, the msg will play and
she'll hear the person being billed say, "Sure." when asked if they accept the
charge.
In any case if you want to make a call bill it to 312-410-7132, and it will go
straight through.

39/70: Call blocking

I know that in parts of Florida that a new system uses the term "call
blocking" simply to stop someone in your co's area from calling you. You would
do something like "*80+number to block" and when that number calls you , a
"You can not dial XXX-XXXX at this time. Try again later"
Other features include immediate call back. This allows you to hit a few
keys on the phone and call back whomever just called you (again, only if
they are in your local co).
Anyone else have info on this?
40/70: Collect Calls.....

A few years ago, in school (out of state) everyone had their ways making free
calls, someone had a number to a recording, something like that VMS, and it
said "This number accepts all collect and 3rd party billing calls" and it
worked all the time.
Another way is to make a collect call to an out-of-state extender. Let me say
it this way....
I'm calling from 219 (Indiana) and I call the local MCI node in Chicago
collect. The operator asks "your name" and you say in a fem voice
"Brenda"....the call will go through, and you will here the usual MCI tone.
RIGHT AWAY, you press a number on t touch tone pad, this will silent the MCI
tone. Then you say in your own voice "Hello?" for all the operator knows,
you are the one that answered! The only problem is that you have to work
fast, else you get a re-order in about 15 seconds.

I will get more specific on the Call Blocking I am refering to. It isn't what
Lotus suggested. That Sounds more like DMS-100 Options(Sounds Exactly like
them, in fact). I thought that the FCC wouldn't allow AT&T to use those
options, though. Maybe I was mistaken. I think that the call blocking I was
refering to is more towards the overload on any paticular circuit as was
mentioned before.

In most areas in Europe, the wire to payphones hang out below the phone if you
splice those wires to you handset, you can dial direct without any imitation
tones.

Call Blocking is indeed a feature of (C)LASS....but that CLASS feature is
LATA based around LCCIS, not upon a CO and intraoffice calls. For more info
read any CLASS file, or check out LOD/H TJ 1, file 1, CLASS, by Videosmith.
It explains it pretty clearly. There was a PBX test number in 305 (the testing
grounds of CLASS) that I had gotten somewhere that had a demo of CLASS
features on it, such as Call trace, selective call forwarding, call blocking,
etc. It was called Touch-Star, I think, or maybe Touch-Tel, one of the two.
Anyway, LASS is used in the 717 (Harrisburg, PA) NPA.
