I recently received a note from my mortgage company explaining that they had changed long distance carriers. It included a new phone number which was 800-736-xxxx. It would appear that which carrier "gets" which 800 calls is still done on an exchange-by-exchange basis. It would appear that only one carrier (AT&T ?) can get 800 information calls. Has anyone ever been explained in the Digest how 800 information works? Does anyone know which carrier gets 800-736-xxxx ?

See the Guide to Area Codes file. The assignment of prefixes within 900 is also included in that file. The Telecom Archives can be reached from any Internet location using the command 'ftp lcs.mit.edu'. PT]
