[comp.dcom.telecom] Call Guide Discusses Calling From 215 Area

00860@vax1.udel.edu (MOORE) (06/03/90)

The latest Allentown (Pa.) directory says to dial 1+201+7D for local
calls from, say, Easton to N.J., and that this was done because 215 is
running out of prefixes.  Also, the Western Delaware County (Pa.)
directory says the same thing regarding local calls to Delaware (i.e.
dial 1+302+7D), and adds that this measure provides "short term
relief" for 215-area prefix shortage.  But for as long as I could
remember, Kemblesville (215-255) dialed 1+368-xxxx for toll call to
Lansdale and 368-xxxx (now 1-302-368-xxxx) for local call to 368 in
Newark, Del.
