The phone companies finally got their act together in my small town of Pound Ridge, NY in the upper northeast corner of Westchester County. We used to be able to dial our neighbors simply by dialing the last 4 digits and our local calling area spilled over into Connecticut towns as well. Well, this past Saturday, everything has been changed. We know have to dial all 7 digits to call our neighbors and the phone has been having palpitations as it adjusts to the new system. Ma Bell (we selected AT&T since the other companies don't adequately service our area) says it is for the better, but this town of 4,500 isn't so sure.
