Could someone explain why Bell Canada in Ontario has decided to "break the rules" with respect to area code/prefix syntax. For example, 604 is a valid NNX in Toronto!

CANADA V5A 4B5 (134.87.131.13) [Moderator's Note: I suspect they are simply following the trend of their US counterparts. We have lots of 'area code look-a-like' prefixes here these days. Especially Chicago ... I have two cell phones in the 312 area: the prefix on one is 415; the other is 504. PAT]
