[comp.dcom.telecom] When Area Code Splits Become Final

SKASS@drew.bitnet (02/26/91)

There have been several discussions of the complaints that are
received when area code splits become mandatory.  How hard would it be
for the following to be announced, say, when I dial 1-221-xxxx instead
of 1-908-221-xxxx?
 
"As of June 8, 1991, it will be necessary to include the area code 908
to place a call to the number you have dialled.  You can already use
the new area code, and will avoid this message by doing so.  Your call
will now be connected."
 
I have a vague memory of something like this happening during the
212/718 split.
