[comp.dcom.telecom] Phones at Pennsylvania Turnpike Service Area

Phones (all using 717-258 Carlisle prefix, and including charge-a-call
phones) in a service area on Pennsylvania Turnpike going east toward
the Carlisle exit have: "Owned & operated by Telecoin Communications
Ltd., Monroeville, Pa.".  Notice that Carlisle, the original eastern
end of that turnpike, is in western fringe of the Harrisburg area, and
that Monroeville is near Pittsburgh and thus is 2 area codes away!
But it also says on the phones: 1+ needed for Station to Station
outside (412) Area Code.

Also, "customer service and refunds: dial 211"
