This past Saturday, I was in Delaware and made a call to 215 directory assistance for a number in Reading, Pa., and I used the option of being connected to the number I had just requested. The recorded voice told me it would be a 30 cent charge, which I assume to be in addition to normal long distance charge. Notice that this is within the Philadelphia LATA. What if I had asked for a number on the following exchanges (in 215 but not in Philadelphia LATA)? 267 Denver 445 Terre Hill 484 Adamstown Would the direct-connect option be absent, with me being required to dial the number if I wanted to call it right away?
