[comp.dcom.telecom] Expansion of PacBell's Local Calling Area

"John C. Fowler" <jfowler@ucsd.edu> (05/08/91)

Pacific Bell will be expanding its local calling area from eight miles
to twelve miles beginning June 1.  I just got my notice today
detailing all the wonderful new exchanges that are soon to be free
local calls.

The funny thing, though, is that "976" is included as a free exchange
in my list!  I have to wonder how much confusion that will cause.

"Mommy, can I dial this number I saw on cartoons?"

"I don't know, honey; is it on the list of free numbers?"

"Yep."

"Okay."
