To clarify, certain areas have a dialling hack that allows you to dial either +1 880 to get an equivalent 800 number, or +880, as long as you pay the charges. It's been a while since this came up on c.d.t, but I believe it was a Canada hack, implemented the former way, rather than an international hack, implemented the latter. Of course, the former hack will die the minute someone allocates 880, but I think that code's reserved. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
