  In about 99.5 % of cases I have found, the thing which sounds like a
dial tone fading off into the distance is your cue to start punching in your
credit card number with a DTMF pad. The minute you hit a key it stops.
Of course, it must time out eventually and connect you to the operator 
for those people with pulse dialing.

   I have observed in some exchanges that dialing a "1" "0" will connect
the operator immediately... is there any significance to this?
