All of these codes work from Corpus Cristi, Texas but if you're reading this from another state, you'll notice that some of the codes don't work and there's some that aren't listed here. Sorry, but I just didn't have the time to take airplanes around the U.S. and try out the codes everywhere. To use a long distance code, dial 10xxx-1-AREA CODE-NUMBER. To speak with an operator, dial 10xxx-0. To identify what a certain code is, dial 10xxx-1-700- 555-4141 and it'll usually tell you what carrier owns it. That 700 number is a free call, by the way. If you want to use your stolen calling card with one of these codes, dial 10xxx-0-AREA CODE-NUMBER and follow the instructions. Some of these people won't let you place a call unless you have an account on their system. Most of these companies know exactly where you're calling from and what your phone number is but a few can't tell so you can use them as extenders. My favorite to play with is 109870. It's just like 1-800-COLLECT but it's a little less advanced AND it's in Spanish. It really confuses whoever you call. 10009 Long Distance Network, 1600 Promenade #1510, Richardson, Texas 75080 Customer Service 1-800-999-0395 (See also 10395) 10036 Long Distance Savers, 3009 Desoto, Monroe, Louisiana, 71201 Customer Service 1-800-256-4491 (Very understaffed) 10057 Vadacom, 711 Louisiana Suite 2300, Houston, Texas 77002 Customer Service 1-800-947-1080 (Also goes by the name of Nationwide.) 10064 Fast Busy Signal 10070 U.S. Long Distance, P.O.Box 72906, Corpus Cristi, Texas, 78472, Customer Service 1-800-460-1111 10080 LDDS Metromedia, 515 East Amidt Suite 200, Jackson, Miss 39201-2702 Customer Service 1-800-350-4211 (Automated Collect Calls) 10084 LDDS Metromedia, 515 East Amidt Suite 200, Jackson, Miss 39201-2702 Customer Service 1-800-350-4211 10085 WesTel Incorporated, P.O.Box 1985, Austin, Texas, 78767-1985 Customer Service 1-800-580-5585 10088 Wiltel Communications, 15450 S.

The LD code 10252 and it belongs to U.S.Sprint. I was thinking of keeping this one all to myself because I thought I could make calling card calls with it from home seeing as how they don't know what number I'm calling from, but decided against it when one operator knew which city I was calling from. So here's what I know: 1. The operator that answers will only identify herself as a "special billing operator." I guess that makes her feel important. She'll be freaked out that you're calling her and she doesn't have your information on her screen. She won't tell you where she's calling from, but a few will hint that they're calling "from the mid-west." I finally got one of them to admit where they where calling from which is Wynonna, Minnesota by telling them that I was their supervisor in Chicago. Even if you ask, "Hi, have I reached the Wynonna, Minnesota office?" they usually won't tell you. One of them told me they were a "Hospitality Operator." 2. They WILL place a call for you collect, third party (with verification), or on a calling card. They won't dial direct (free) or with your red box. Usually, though, before they place the call they give you the third degree asking you questions like: "Who are you?", "Are you calling from a pay fone?", "What number did you dial to get me?", "What number are you calling from?" and a few other mundane questions. Whatever you do, don't tell her the access code you dialed to get her. This is interesting and we don't need them shutting it off. 3. She won't complete a toll-free (800) call for anyone but three times now, I've convinced her to anyways, saying that I was a GTE lineman. Each time I had her call a different ANI number and each one came up with a number in Los Angeles. One of them is 213-892-8743 which just rings and never answers. The other one is 213-624-9126 which says, "This number is disconnected..." 4. If you try to make a direct call (such as 10252-1-512-370-4680) you'll get a screwed up voice saying, "We're sorry, the number that you are calling from is not in service at this time. Call your carrier for asisstance..." 5. Most of the operators will claim that they have your number on their screen but they'll still ask you for your number and they won't tell you what your number is if you ask for it. Also, some operators admit that they can't see where you're calling from so this leads me to believe that none of them can. Except ONE operator so far knew which city and state I was calling from. Most of them can't even tell which state so I don't know. If they don't know where I am, how do they know how much to bill me for a long distance call? For all they know, I'm calling someone down the street. Here's a conversation I had with one of them today: ME:: Dialing 10252-0... HER: ...Uh...Sprint, may I help you? ME:: Hi, is this the Wynonna, Minnesota office? HER: I can't give you that information. ME:: Well, you're not in Los Angeles, are you? HER: (Pauses to think...) No. ME:: Well, I just wanted to ask you a question. How come when I have you dial the ANI number, it gives me a number in the 213 area code and not there in Minnesota? HER: Do you work for us? ME:: No, I work against you. HER: Hold on just a second...(Gets her supervisor) SUP: This is the supervisor, may I help you? ME:: Yeah, how come when I dial ANI through you I get Los Angeles? SUP: (Sounds pissed) Who are you?? ME:: Alex. SUP: Well, who do you work for? ME:: McDonald's (No, I really don't work there...Give me a break.) SUP: McDonald who?? ME:: McDonald's, the fast food joint, you know? Could you please tell me what number you show that I'm calling from? What's on your screen? SUP: I'm not at liberty to give out that information. ME:: Hmmmmm...Could you VERIFY the number? SUP: No, I can't do that either, I'm sorry. What number did you dial to reach this office? ME:: I'm sorry, I'm not at liberty to give out that information. SUP: Why not? ME:: Well, I'll make you a deal. You give me my phone number and I'll give you your phone number. SUP: No, I can't do that. ME:: Please? I'll box you a quarter... SUP: (Laughs) No, what number are you calling from? ME:: Well, we both obviously need information from each other so here's what we're going to do: I'll tell you my area code, YOU tell me my prefix, I'll tell you the first two numbers of my suffix and YOU tell me the last two numbers. That sounds like a reasonable trade. Well, that goes on and on. I spoke with this operator for 10-20 minutes and it just goes downhill from there. I've also called them from home and harrassed them to death.
