The situation described in my message about Phillipsburg, NJ is the first case I have been to an area with permissive dialing, as I don't visit New York City that much. Removing area code 202 from Md. and Va. suburbs in the Washington DC area did not change the area codes to be displayed on pay phones there. [Moderator's Note: Well, things remain real messy here in the suburbs. Many payphones still have the old stickers with 312 on them. I guess they do not bother changing them until it is otherwise necessary to do maintainence on the phone, and that makes sense in a way. PAT]
