A call placed from Delaware to most of the 215 area (and vice versa) is interstate and intraLATA (Philadelphia LATA). I don't know what the status of the carriers is there. (I.e., can you use another car- rier besides Diamond State/Bell of Pa.?) Bell of Pa. & NJ Bell are authorized as carriers between Philadelphia (Pa.) metro and nearby New Jersey areas. A similar setup exists between northern New Jersey and New York City. (I don't know about suburbs in 914 area in New York State.)

Westchester County (area code 914) is part of the NYC LATA, which also includes all of Long Island (516), Rockland County (across the river from Westchester), and parts of other counties, including a bit of Connecticut (area code 203), which is served by NYTel for historical reasons. On another topic currently agitating the Digest: I believe that 1-212-7D works OK within the 212 area, but haven't checked lately.
