A check from Toronto seems to show that the area code 510 (California split, San Francisco, to be completed late '91) is now active, and accepting dialing for 1 510 555.1212. Does anyone else have 510 active out there? [Moderator's Note: David Leibold (woody) is the official keeper of the TELECOM Digest area code/prefix name-place tables. He has an up-to-date file for each USA and Canadian area code, listing prefixes in each and cities served. The Canadian and 809 lists are also in the Telecom Archives. Write him direct at the address at the top of this message for details on your area code. He might even be nice and send you a couple other area codes of your choice, as long as you don't get ridiculous and ask for the entire 150+ files set. :) PT]

Intrestingly, the intercept takes longer if you dial '1' first (not required in 408). Canadian telcos are starting early! Steve Watt ...!claris!wattres!steve wattres!steve@claris.com also works

Woody (contact!djcl) writes that area code 510 is apparently
accessable from Toronto. Steve Watt (steve@wattres.UUCP) writes that
it doesn't work from San Jose.
Just tried it from NJ, using AT&T, MCI, and US Sprint. All three
reject my attempt (the local CO accepts all eleven digits (1 510 555
1212)) with a SIT followed by "your call cannot be completed as
dialed" and no code indicating where the rejection occurs. This
probably means that my carrier-select code is being ingored, and that
the call is being rejected by the local NJ Bell CO (1A-ESS).

I will keep trying, and will inform the net when it works for me. It seems to me that the whole worldwide voice net will go down the tubes real soon now, with features like IdentaCall and stuff all working to help use up all those numbers so fast. Are the telephone switching systems installed now able to handle a reprogramming, such as adding an extra digit in front of the usual exchange? Or adding a fourth character to the area code? In Toronto we have various test numbers, and I can only guess what they do. We have 2 secret numbers into repair services, 611 (the real one) 711 the secret one (I) and 511 the secret one (II). Well, I've rambled off topic long enough. Best wishes to all readers.
