Many hotels and pay telephones subscribe to alternative operator services, whose charges for long-distance calls can substantially exceed the cost of using a major communications carrier. To bypass alternative operator services, users can dial an access code to directly connect to a specific carrier. Common access codes include:
Communications Carrier | Access Code |
---|---|
AT & T | 10-288-0 |
MCI | 10-222-0 |
US Sprint | 10-333-0 |
If the access code fails to work, users should dial 0 and ask the operator to connect them to the desired carrier.
