[comp.dcom.telecom] Use of New London City Codes From U.S.

This responds to an item posted Feb. 19 by John Pettitt <jpp@specialix.co.uk> 
which was in Telecom:

You said that calling your office as 081 941 2564 (obviously from
within U.K.) works fine and that calling it with 071 instead of 081
yielded "Please re-dial omitting the 071, this is test announcement
three".  Just now I tried 011-44-71-941-2564 and it got AT&T
intercept, indicating that the new city code (I did not try 081 due to
the ghastly hour for U.K., 5 hours ahead of Eastern Time, where I am)
is not yet recognized at this end.
