Are the N00 prefixes used anywhere in the US? I get quite a variety
of messages from NJ Bell territory when I dial them. Here's a
summary:
200-xxxx : "The number you have reached, two-oh-oh-ex-ex-ex-ex, is being
checked for trouble. Please try your call again later."
300-xxxx : "We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected
or is not in service. If you feel you have reached this
recording in error, please check the number and try your call
again." (rings before message)
400 to 600: "We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialled. Please
check the number and call again." (interrupts after 3 digits)
700-xxxx : "We're sorry. You must first dial a 1 when calling this number.
(800,900) Will you please hang up and try your call again." (Rings right
after seventh digit is dialled. 1+ is not necessary within area
code 201, but this makes a bit of sense.)
1-700-xxxx :"We're sorry. Your call did not go through. Will you please
try your call again?" (Probably waiting for 11 digits)

(Probably waiting for 11 digits) With an attempt at 700-xxxx just above it which got a message saying you first had to dial a 1. It wasn't said in the message I am responding to, but 1 + 7-digit number should not work in an area using NXX (not NNX) prefixes. Try getting a Los Angeles area directory and looking up areas 213 and 818 for prefixes of the N00 form.
