SBC in California offers only Speed 8 these days.

When they offered both the 8-list was accessed with feature code 74; the
30-list with feature code 75.

The real advantage of the speed list was the storing of long
international dialing strings. The speed list, as I recall, could
store up to 16 digits.

But, almost everyone other than the LECs offer cheaper international
rates, etc, etc.

My SBC wireline service is now toll-restricted and limited to incoming
and local outgoing calls.

They can't compete with Vonage, so they are trying to destroy it.
