Where I live, it is possible to setup a call to virtually any
destination number using the format
[+] 1 - 611 - [NPA] - [NXX] - [XXXX]
After an average of ten (10) unsuccessful attempts -- all diverted to
intercept recording that references "0 7 7 P" at the end -- calls will
ring through !
These calls do not get billed, when using prepaid phone and activated
SIM. If there are minutes on the balance, none are deducted when using
this +1611 code; even with balance of $0.00 (!!!), calls are completed
when dialing with the sequence. For the life of me, I cannot figure out
WHY this works -- though I have vague ideas why it might be useful...
For example, in the case of national emergencies, etc.
* Anyone help me out with this ? * Is there an authority or book I can
refer to to further my understanding ? * What division of my mobile
phone service provider would be best to ask about this oddball code ?
Doesn't even make sense to me following the numbering plan information
I'm familiar with. Is there a reason it would be routed as an
international call ? Is it related to what apparently used to be called
"Choke" prefix (contest code) ? "Priority access code" (emergency
preparedness type of thing) ?
It has been used for years, locally; some people, whose opinions i
don't respect, have mentioned it in a network routing sense and
associate it with satellites (LBS ? E911 ? !
[*Nota bene: Having already posted this question to
www.howardforums.com and other such forums, feedback from others has
been limited to this type: "tried this over and over, didn't work!
this guy's pulling our leg!" So -- a cautionary word: don't waste your
time trying if you're not in or around Portland, OR]
