Does IB offer big spoo options?

Quote from volatilitypimp:

Can I trade the 'big' SP futures options at IB? Their website is a bit vague. If not, who would you recommend for this? TIA

yes, but not through tws. the sp is pit traded so orders must be called in to the floor.

Thx rally, does IB have a dedicated pit order phone line? From what I gather it's none too easy to get a rep on the phone expeditiously[sic].

Are the commish more for phone orders as well? I'd rather avoid the ES options altogether if push came to shove.

It appears i mispoke the first time. After digging in deeper into my account permissions, i noticed the spoos and the options are infact done through tws if you have your account enabled for floor trading.

Commissions are also higher.
