Dealing with the Ra
te & Route Operator

by Fred Steinbeck (TAP #88
)

It seems that fewer and fewer p
eople have blue boxes these days, and
that is really too bad. Blue boxes, wh
ile not all that great for making free
calls (since the TPC can tell when the
call was made, as well as where it was
too and from), are really a lot of fun
to play with. Short of becoming a real
live TSPS operator, they are about the
only way you can really play with the
network.
For the few of you with blue bo
xes, here are some phrases which may
make life easier when dealing with the
rate & route (R&R) operators. To get
the R&R op, you send a KP + 141 + ST.
In some areas you may need to put
another NPA before the 141 (i.e., KP +
213 + 141 + ST), if you have no local
R&R ops.
The R&R operator has a myriad o
f information, and all it takes to get
this data is mumbling cryptic phrases.
There are basically four special
phrases to give the R&R ops. They are
NUMBERS route, DIRECTORY route, OPERATOR
route, and PLACE NAME.
You get an R&R an area code for
a city, one can call the R&R operator
and ask for the numbers route. For exa
mple, to find the area code for Carson
City, Nevada, we'd ask the R&R op for "
Carson City, Nevada, numbers route,
please." and get the answer, "Right...
702 plus." meaning that 702 plus 7
digits gets us there.
Sometimes directory assitance i
sn't just NPA + 131. The way to get
these routings is to call R&R and ask f
or "Anaheim, Calafornia, directory
route, please." Of course, she'd tell u
s it was 714 plus, which means 714 + 131
gets us the D.A. op there. This is sor
t of pointless example, but I couldn't
come up with a better one on short noti
ce.
Let's say you wanted to find ou
t how to get to the inward operator for
Sacremento, California. The first six
digits of a number in that city will be
required (the NPA and an NXX). For exa
mple, let us usem 916 756. We would call
R&R, and when the operator answered, sa
y, "916 756, operator route, please."
The operator would say, "916 plus 001 p
lus." This means that 916 + 001 + 121
will get you the inward operator for Sa
cramento.
Do you know the city which corres
ponds to 503 640? The R&R operator
does, and will tell you that it is Hill
sboro, Oregon, if you sweetly ask for
"Place name, 503 640, please."
For example, let's say you need
the directory route for Sveg, Sweden.
Simply call R&R, and ask for, "Internat
ional, Baden, Switzerland. TSPS
directory route, please." In response
to this, you'd get, "Right... Directory
to Sveg, Sweden. Country code 46 plus
1170." So you'd route yourself to an
international sender, and send 46 + 117
0 to get the D.A. operator in Sweden.
Inward operator routings to var
ious countries are obtained the same way
"International, London, England, TSPS i
nward route, please." and get "Country
code 44 plus 121." Therefore, 44 plus
121 gets you inward for London.
Inwards can get you language as
sitance if you don't speak the language.
Tell the foreign inward, "United Staes
calling. Language assitance in
completing a call to (caled party) at (
called number)."
R&R operators are people are pe
ople too, y'know. So always be polite,
make sure use of 'em, and dial with car
e.

Note: As a result of the break-up, R&R
is now KP+800+141+1212+ST
