Cellular One codes?! / VSC vs ETSI supplemental service codes

I'll second that. This format is ok if you need a definition of a code, but if one is trying to figure out what code does "whatever" it is not the best format. At best, then, it is a laundry list of codes. I would suggest making it a "sortable table" with codes being one column, function (say "Cancel Call Waiting") being another and the detailed explanation in a "details & comments" column. Users could then sort based on either the first or second column depending on whether they are looking for a definition of a specific code or searching for a code to perform a specified function.[[User:Enquire|Enquire]] ([[User talk:Enquire|talk]]) 20:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 
* Now that [[User:Lexlex|Lexlex]] merged in the other similar page containing a table, the next step is to combine the information instead of having it listed twice...<br />The codes listed for "Cellular One" need to be researched. Cellular One was a brand applied to a wide variety of mobile services, so those codes could have come from anywhere, and may not be in use any more. -- [[User:Justinbb|Justinbb]] ([[User talk:Justinbb|talk]]) 18:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Good question. I think, at least, it applies to Canada and the USA. In some locations the same codes also work with a # after the number instead of a * before. For example, some telcos have (for example) "70#" equivalent to *70".[[User:Enquire|Enquire]] ([[User talk:Enquire|talk]]) 20:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 
* The VSCs are designed strictly for use within the [[North American Numbering Plan]]. In Europe, a separate set of "supplementary service" codes has been developed and is standardized by ETSI.
