Hi all,

        the definitive answers are these:

        1) You can only call the Bell operator "0" from a Bell phone (landline 
or mobile).

        2) the Bell Business office (310-BELL) can be dialed by prefixing the 
905 area code. My local area code "705" will not work prefixed to the 310-2355 
number. Perhaps "416" will work, I didn't try it.


        thanks to all who responded.
