	Telephone switchboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When calling long distance, the customer often would not have the phone number available, so would simply ask for the name and city of the person desired.
		The long distance operator would plug into the trunk for the distant city, and the inward operator in the distant city would answer, obtain the number from their local information operator, and ring the call.
		If the number was in a distant city, the operator would call the inward operator in the destination city, and ask her to try the number, or to test a line to see if it was busy or out of order.

	Consumers Union
		Long distance operator-assisted rates from pay phones are often high, sometimes set at the maximum rate allowed under current regulations.
		MCI offered among the lowest operator assisted long distance collect rates for a call from Austin to Houston ($1.81 for the first minute and $0.34 for each additional), and ATandT was competitive with a "Call ATT" rate of $2.74/$0.35 and a normal operator assist rate of $4.15/$0.39.
		Operators for 37 phones at 21 locations (29 percent of phones surveyed) quoted us the maximum rate allowed under current Texas regulations, demonstrating that many companies are charging as much as they can.

	Consumers Union
		We asked if USLD was the local operator and she confirmed that, no, USLD is the long distance operator for that pay phone.
		We told her that was too much and we would like to get a local operator, but she had "no transfer functions." So we tried dialing 00, and again connected with a USLD operator, who also did not know how to transfer us to a local operator.
		The NOS operator said, laughing, that she "wouldn't know how to do that at all." After further discussion she said that Sprint should be the local operator for this phone and she would transfer us.

		The introductory words ("long distance operator with a collect call from...") are said quickly and are glossed over, and normally the party called doesn't listen with sufficient care to determine that "long distance operator" isn't preceded with a company name.
		Further, the dialogue reveals that the initial words were "Long distance operator" and not "This is the long distance operator," which removes the second or so that listeners require to get their audio bearings that an extra word or two would provide.
		For GTE to use this excuse to distance themselves from their obligation to assure that they do not promote rip-off by serving as a collection agent for those ripping-off is merely another form of denying both the problem and their obligation to investigate complaints for which there is evidence of deception.

	Dialing rules overview
		The default rules for dialing local, long distance, and international calls are determined by the country or region that you have selected.
		If you use a different long distance operator than the country/region default for all area codes, it is much easier to use a calling card for the location instead of creating an area code rule for every area or city code that you dial.
		The long distance carrier number, also called the long distance operator, is dialed before the area code or country/region code to dial domestic or international long distance calls.

	rediff.com: Opening up of STD sector for private operators
		Government on Sunday announced guidelines for opening up domestic long distance telephony (Subscriber Trunk Dialling) for carrying both inter-circle and intra-circle traffic, with no restriction on the number of players and a one-time entry fee of Rs 1 billion.
		Besides an entry fee, an operator would have to give a bank guarantee of Rs 4 billion that would be refunded in phases on fulfilment of network obligations, including servicing certain remote and low-revenue yielding areas, he said.
		In the first phase, the operator would have to cover 15 per cent of the prescribed area in two years, failing which the bank guarantee, worth Rs 1 billion, would be forfeited, Paswan said.

		I am sorry to report the original file on this topic was somehow lost and is no longer available (unless someone finds a copy and donates it back to the archives.) The file dated from about 1989 and discussed a category of phone service called 'enterprise numbers'.
		The operator would check a flip-chart at her side to find the translation number, and would complete the call to the actual number, but reversing the charge to the called party without asking for an okay.
		The only difference was the call had to be placed through the long distance operator.

		I began noticing that if I made a call through the Verizon Long Distance operator to 800-673-7286, I could place calls to 800 numbers NOT on the AT&T network, but that the ANI was being sent as '615-986-9873' or ANI II Pair 23 followed by areacode 904.
		So when I was making a call through the Verizon Long Distance operator to 800 673 7286 I would get routed to the Florida AT&T center because the Verizon Long Distance operator I got was based out of Florida(813), which is why when I had the AT&T operator dial an ANAC it would show 23-904(Florida).
		However, not all Verizon Long Distance operators are based in Florida, some of them are based out of Kentucky(606) which for whatever reason will get you the Nashville, TN Center.
