OK, HERE'S A LITTLE TRICK TO LET YOU CALL A FUE PHRIENDS ONE NIGHT AND HAVE A LITTLE TRADE OF SOME SORT!!! FIRST, YOU CALL YOUR LOCAL "0" OPERATOR (VIA EXTENDER OR FORTRESS BUT NEVER FROM YOUR HOUSE SINCE THEY AUTOMATICALLY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE CALLING FROM). SAY SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF, "YES, OPERATOR, TSPS MAINTENANCE CALLING. I AM HAVING SOME PROBLEMS ON MY END. CAN YOU PLEASE KEYPULSE FORWARD TO TO 121, START, POSITION RELEASE." WHAT THIS HAS THE EFFECT OF DOING IS CONNECTING YOU TO AN INWARD OPERATOR WHO WILL CONNECT YOU TO ANY NUMBER IN HER AREA CODE ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO GET CONNECTED TO THE 213 CONFERENCE, YOU HAVE TO CALL A 213 INWARD--SO SAY "KEYPULSE FORWARD TO 213-121..." FIRST. THEN SAY TO THE INWARD, "YES PLEASE CONNECT ME TO 080-1050." OF COURSE USING THE 213 CONFERENCE SYSTEM IS VERY STUPID! IF THE TSPS OPERATOR GIVES YOU PROBLEMS, SOUND INDIGNANT AND IMMEDIATELY ASK TO SPEAK TO HER GROUP CHIEF. IF SHE PUTS YOU THROUGH, HANG-UP SINCE THE G.C. KNOWS ABOUT SUCH THINGS. IF YOU GET A REGULAR SUPERVISOR AT HER INSISTANCE ASK THE SUPERVISOR THE SAME LINE, AND YOU'LL PROBABLY GET THROUGH. IN SOME AREAS WHERE THIS METHOD IS ABUSED BY CERTAIN PEOPLE, THE OPERATOR WILL BE TOLD TO SAY, "I'M CURRENTLY UNAWARE OF ANY TSPS TESTING TAKING PLACE, I'LL CONNECT YOU TO MY SUPERVISOR." FINNALY, REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH OPERATORS...BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL. IF YOU HAVE ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THEY BECAME SUSPICIOUS IN PUTTING THROUGH THE CALL (ESPECIALLY WITH A SUPERVISOR), HANG-UP!!! IF THEY DON'T PRESS POSITION RELEASE, THEY CAN LISTEN TO YOUR LITTLE HIGHLY ILLEGAL CONVO! AND GET AN ANI (AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION) ON EVERYONE IN THE CONFERENCE!!! BUT LIFE IS FULL OF DANGERS ISN'T IT. TAKE A CHANCE! IT IS WORTH IT! SOMETIMES.  .
