- Subject: Revised Listing of Class Codes; Other Recent Notes
-
-
- Here's my update to John Gilbert's list (posted/distributed as Volume
- 12, Issue 124, Message 1 of 11).
-
- My main "value added" is adding the non-technical terms next to
- the technical terms, and sources for the information.
-
- The following list was compiled from comp.dcom.telecom postings and
- the Bell Atlantic "IQ services" information line at (800) 365-5810.
-
- CLASS and Custom Calling Feature Control Codes:
- (These appear to be standard, but may be changed locally)
-
- *57 Customer Orignated Trace (COT) Activation "call trace"
- The number of the last call you received is logged at the CO.
- You get an acknowledging recording. Then hang up.
- Write down the date and time.
-
- Write down the date and time.
- You don't get the number - you must contact the
- business office or police.
- Costs $1.50 - $3 depending on your area.
- *60 Selective Call Rejection (SCR) Activation
- (start "call block" list management)
- *61 Selective Distinctive Alerting (SDA) Activation
- (start "priority call" list management)
- *62 Selective Call Acceptance (SCA) Activation
- *63 Selective Call Forwarding (SCF) Activation
- (start "select forwarding list" management)
- *65 ICLID Activation (caller ID)
- (turn on caller ID delivery to me, the subscriber)
- *66 Automatic Recall (AR) Activation
- (activate "repeat call" - retry last number for 30 minutes)
- *67 Call Privacy Toggle (block caller ID delivery for next call only)
- *68 Computer Access Restriction Toggle
- *69 AC Activation "return call" (call last person who called you)
- *70 Call waiting disable
- "tone block" (prevent call waiting tone, useful for data calls)
- *70 // dial tone // the number you're dialing
- *71 Ring, no-answer forward activation
- *72 Call forwarding immediate Activation (72# on some systems)
- *73 Call forwarding Deactivation (73# on some systems)
- *74 Speed call 8 program (74# on some systems)
- *80 SCR Deactivation "call block"
- *81 SDA Deactivation "priority call"
- *82 SCA Deactivation
- *83 SCF Deactivation "select forwarding"
- *85 ICLID Deactivation (turn off caller ID delivery to me, the subscriber)
- *86 AR Deactivation "repeat call"
- *89 AC Deactivation "return call"
- n# speed dial (n=2 to 9)
- nn# speed dial (nn=20-49)
- 72# activate call forwarding
- 73# deactivate call forwarding
- 74# set speed dialing (8 numbers)
- 75# set speed dialing (30 numbers)
-
- Rotary/pulse phones: use 11 for the * (ex: *57 => 1157) (is there a
- pulse code for #? I doubt it becuase it's not a prefix)
-
- You do not need to subscribe to call trace to use it. Some areas
- allow return call and repeat call on a per use basis. The cost is
- higher per use than with a subscription, but you pay nothing for
- months where you don't use it.
-
- *65 and *85 are used when you subscribe to Caller-ID if you want to
- reduce the number of calls logged because there's a surcharge after
- 400 calls per month.
-
- New York Telephone has a recorded message system describing their
- services. Here's what I gathered from (800) EASY-NYT (327-9698) (this
- mostly jives with information from the Bell Atlantic IQ services
- information line at (800) 365-5810)
-
- Menu choice:
-
- 45 -> A person relays voice/TDD at no additional charge.
- This is WITHIN New York State only.
- What about calls in/out of New York State?
-
-
- What about calls in/out of New York State?
- The operator said the originator should call information for
- the relay service. This is a service of AT&T, and is currently
- not allowed to call across states.
- (800) 421-1220 voice
- (800) 662-1220 TDD
-
- The AT&T newsline (908) 221-6397 (221-NEWS)
- for Friday June 8, 1991 mentioned that the (Chicago) Illinois
- relay center opened June 10.
- It is the fourth, others being in New York, Alabama and California.
- [and Sprint's in Texas as mentioned in TELECOM Feb 1992]
-
- 46 -> restrict outgoing calls to pay services
- exchanges 540, 550, 970, 970
- area codes 700, 900
- This service is free of charge.
-
- 14 -> "Ring Mate" allows you to add one or two additional numbers,
- each with a unique ring pattern (and call waiting beep).
-
- AT&T has language translation centers. I believe these are the numbers:
-
- (408) 648-5871 AT&T Language Line (outside the USA)
- (800) 628-8486 AT&T Language Line (USA only)
- (800) 752-6096 AT&T Language Line information
-
- You can get translators (English/Japanese, ...) as needed, but the
- cost is rather high. I'm not sure if reservations/appointments are
- necessary. It would be interesting to see the setup and costs for a
- conference call from the US to Japan, using the translation center and
- a TDD relay for the deaf (particularly if the deaf were non-english).
- Or better yet -- a video conference from the US to Russia with
- translators.
-
-
- CCITT rules:
-
- How to write a number:
-
- +1 212 555 1212
- international
- (spaces, NO dashes)
-
- (212) 555 1212
- within the country (parentheses around the optional city code)
