According to the new (January 1991) Northern Virginia white pages, the 1 + 703 dialing for calls outside of the metro area will go away on March 1, 1991. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until 1992. Haven't had time to check it out yet. Bob Hofkin

You write that "1 + 703 dialing for calls outside of the metro area" appears in the Northern Virginia white pages (Jan. 1991). What calls does this apply to? Does this apply only to the extended-area calls from "Northern Virginia" to "Prince William"? If so, notice the following: Calls between "Northern Virginia" and "Prince William" were formerly long distance, but were changed to extended-area. When that change was made, such calls were reduced to 7D (from 1+7D?) going from "Prince William" to "Northern Virginia"; the other way around had to stay at 703+7D due to some prefix duplications, and then changed to 1+703+7D when N0X/N1X prefixes came to the DC area, and can LATER (after the dust settles from change to NPA+7D for inter-NPA local calls in DC area) reduce to 7D. (In other words, long distance within 703 would still be 1+703+7D.)
