If the toliet is stopped up beyond the drain at the bottom of the toliet but not down the S-trap in other words hung up right before the S-trap bends, how do they get it unstopped? Buy a new toliet?
I'm sorry, but I really am having a hard time understanding what you're asking.
The toilet (note spelling) IS the S-trap. There is no S-trap 'beyond the drain at the bottom of the toliet' though there is usually a bend. With a 3' closet auger, you should be able to get through the toilet. With a 6' extendable auger, you should be able to clear another 3'.
If you're speaking of the bend at the top of the passage inside the toilet, the auger should get it, and you can always use a mirror and flashlight to see what's blocking it, unless you have sprung for the seesnake micro. (I gotta get me one of those!)
And if you're speaking of the front jet being plugged, a bent screwdriver or a coat hanger can clear that opening.
All bets are off on a forward trap. Also, unplugging the internal jet on a Norris toilet is not as easy as it should be. And on an ancient Crane you can reach down with a grabbing tool to get out the myriad rubber and styrofoam cones that fall out of the flappers.
