I have a cellular phone with ATNT, and a friend of mine set it up under his name; JUST so I
could get a phone number in Hawaii. Anywho, I got a little curious, and looked up EXACTLY WHERE
my phone number (808-649-xxxx) is located in Hawaii; and found that it landed on the island of
Lanai. Now, I looked up my ANI, and got read back a phone number starting with (808) 440-xxxx. I
gave it a call and got a reorder. NOW, this got me REALLY curious, and so I rang up my calling
card; called directory assistance on oahu and asked the friendly operator who OWNS 440, and he
told me, ATNT wireless. Hrrmmmm, sounds legit. So, I looked up (808)440 in the LERG and got "Time
Warner Telecom". COOL! The same guys who are in cahoots with AOL! I then did a little research
on Time Warner Telecom in Hawaii, and gathered a pretty nice amount of information. Please note
that this is the ONLY Central Office on Oahu owned by Time Warner Telecom, and they DONT hand out
residential numbers. I haven't gotten all of the error messages, but just some in the 99xx suffix.
This Oahu switch is linked to TWO other islands (unknown to me) via underwater fiber optic
cables, and then linked via TCP/IP to the Time Warner CO in Orange County. It then connects to
the TW-Interconnection gateway in Las Vegas which finally contacts the National Operations Office
in Denver via yet another IP Network. If you have any information on other Time Warner CO's
please get in contact with me, because Iam really curious about these guys.

Update! I've finally gotten an answer to my question (you know, about why I didn't get MY ANI
read back to me on the ANAC), now, its covered at:
http://www.nettwerked.net/K-1ine_21.txt
but, I'd like to kinda summarize what I've just read; I was under the impression that since I
was calling from California, I would be considered "roaming" and be read back a number in San
Diego, but oddly enough, this wasn't true in my case. But rather, the Time Warner Switch on Oahu
is the switch that handled all of my "roaming" calls, and thus sending out *their* "psuedo ANI".
I'd like to thank The Clone; since he's the editor of K-Line and Tron because well, he gave The
Clone some info that brought this article to my attention :)
