[comp.dcom.telecom] Maryland Helpline Discusses Local Calls

cmoore@brl.mil (02/19/91)

The Maryland helpline at 800-477-4704 will, if you entered a prefix
which has local service across what will be the 301/410 border, add a
recorded note telling that such local calls will become ten digits,
and goes on to say "that is", 301 (or 410 as the case may be) + seven
digits.

However, I found no comment about local calls across an area code
boundary other than the new 301/410 boundary.

Notice these samples:

588 (Silver Spring) -- has the comment (see above) about local calls
into area 410, which will include Columbia except for those lines
local to DC. (Silver Spring already has NPA+7D for local calls to DC
and Va.)

755 (Warwick) -- next to the Delaware border, and local to 302-378
Middletown; no comment made about local calls, so I assume 7D to
Middletown, Delaware will remain as is.
