PREFACE: In this issue will discuss the different types of operators, area codes and special numbers. This edition is made to give you a basic understanding of the wicked ways of MA. I hope it'll give you a good enough back ground to do well. Look for Bell Hell vol. 2 for more info on hacking.

OPERATORS:
=-=-=-=-=
Here we'll go over in detail some of the most common operators.
TSPS OPERATOR:
Trafic (us) Service Position System Operator is the bitch you commonly here whenever you use a pay fone etc.. To say the leats she's a meat head. Her respnsibilities are as follows:
[1] Getting all billing information for Calling Cards and 3rd number calls.
[2] Making sure you get the right person on person-to-person calls.
[3] Making sure the fool on the other end will pay for your collect call (why call collect?)
[4] Identifying calling numbers, or basically asking you, 'what number are you calling, pleaz.' when the system fucks up.
Even though these operators are commonly ding-bats you shouldn't screw with them, for they are known to be quick with the traser. She can even tell if your calling from a fortress fone, she has like a portable all time ready tracer. Beware of these deadly bitches.
INWARD OPERATORS:
This winch is basically an apprentice to the bitch above (TSPS) or commonly the '0' operator. She will never question you as long as your within her dimension (service) area. She can only be reached by a mighty Blue Box (discussed in up and cumming tutorial) or another operator.
DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE OPERATORS:
(DOA?DAO?)
This is the operator ou get when you call directory assistance (555-1212). All she can do is either tell you a listed number or tell you if a number is unlisted. Waste of time.
DEAF D.A.O.'S
This is neat little operator set up to help directory assistance for deaf people (who would they want to talk to?). She's reachable by dialing 800-855-1155. She talks to the deaf via Teletypewritters (terminals). If your modem can transfer baudot (Oh those sweet Apple Cats can) then you can talk to her. You might find her alot more friendly, more talkitive and alot easier to manipulate a number out of. However, she does use abbreviations like GA for go ahead (pretty tricky huh).
CN/A OPERATORS
Oh the sweet CN/A, god bless its soul. These operators instead of giveing you information on a persons phone number they give you information on a fone numbers person (the person at 503-229-7600). However, if manipulated these beauties can give you the number for an unlisted fone number (the number), they have all kinds of access. This topic is discussed later in this tutorial.
INTERCEPT OPERATOR:
All places have their share of low lifes, well this is the scum, bottom of the barrol of operators. She's the one you get when all the recordings are busy (lower than a recording). Infact these dames can cause you more pains then a recording. They only know a handful of english (around two sentences) and can barely even say those. Even though they have no clue to what a trace is, unless you know their native tongue, and then doubtfully, their just a pain in the bu** to deal with.
OTHER OPERATORS:
Well we have- marine verify, we have mobile,rout and rate,ship to shore,conference and a few other specific ones. No ral help to us now.
*NOTES: Most operators have their own little Directory Assistance. If any operator is giving you probs ask to speek with his/her/its supervisor. This will phreak them out. In rare loveable cases you might find a nice operator with a number like (503-123-4567). Whenever you find a 0 or 1 in the 4th number slot ^ then you no need a Blue Box. It'll give you special access to those hard to get winches.

AREA CODES ETC.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
HOW FONE NUMBERS WORK:
Basiclly MA made our fone numbers quite simple. Here's how they work:
[A] The area code is what the call a three digit number plan area or NPA. This means that an area code is just that, the code for an area.
[B] The rest of our number (ie. 666-7209) is divided into two segments. The first being the Central Office number (666 would be N. Portland) and the ending (7209) is the station number, or basically your assigned home number.
This complete combination (503-666-7209) is known as the destination code. Here's how MA has developed the combo's:
[NPA] [TELEFONE NUMBER]
X*Y XYY-YYYY
X = a number from 2-9
y = a number from 0-9
* = either 0 or 1
Normally an area code may never cross a states boundrie, thus an area code (NPA) may not be used for both New York and for Pennsylvania. However, as for all other rules there is an exception. Here they are.
SPECIAL AREA CODES:
(SACS)
510 - TWX (USA)
610 - TWX (CANADA)
700 - NEW SERVICE
710 - TWX (USA)
800 - WATTS LINES
810 - TWX (USA)
900 - DIAL-IT SERVICES
910 - TWX (USA)
The explanations of these are as follows:
TWX:
Telex II, as you can see above there are 5 TWX machines. There all owned by Western Union. Normally these babes may only be accessed by other TWX machines, however, if you do not wish to go and purchase on you can access 'em by use of the Easylink, by Western Union. For more on this I would suggest reading The Bioc Agents, and Tucs article on 'Hacking Western Union's Easylink.'
700:
This is a new service for employees of AT&T in which someone (one of the special employees) can call his own 700 number (say 700-292-9876), enters his/her code, and where he is staying and then hangs up. If there is any new info on the case he is working on the computer will call him back and tell him all the latest updates.
800:
There a basically two types of Watts Lines, Inward Watts and Outward watts. These are probably some of the nicest of the special area codes since they allow you to call for free. Here's an explanation of the two:
INWARD WATTS:
Inward Wide Area Telecomunications Service is probably the one your most familiar with. MA has developed it so there are 6 different levels of Inwatts. Level 6 being the whole U.S. (all 50 states) level 5 being all 48 contienental states etc. all the way down to 1 only one state. Usually companies get a levle 6 and then a level 1 beacuse all though level 6 allows you to call from anywhere in the U.S. it excludes the state where the call is terminated at, so the company usually buys a level 1 for that state.
Intrestate Inwatts are less common but still exist. These are the ones you can only call from say one state. You can tell one quite easily for they all have a 2 for the last central office number, or the 6th number (ie. 800-XY2-XXXX).
All companies that have a 800# must have at leats two lines. This is because if you call the first number (ie. 800-666-0190) and it rings busy the 800# number will always go to another port to see if its busy. Inwatts customers are billed by the hour instead of month like us.
OUTWARD WATTS:
Outwatts are just that, there for making outward calls only. Large companies commonly use Outwatts since they recieve bulk discounts. Outwatt 800's are in the form of:
800-*XX-XXXX
