The following phone prefixes are taken from 1982 notes for area code 312, and they are now in area 708 (except that I cannot find 494). The place names are those of branches of the Chicago post office (recall that a branch is outside the city, and that a station is within the city). Cicero--494,652,656,780,863 Niles--647 Riverdale--841,849 [Moderator's Note: Actually, Carl, what we have are a few suburbs which touch the city, and they are served from the Chicago Post Office. They will be 708. And as for 494 which you cannot locate; you don't want to know about it; trust me. Its outrageously boring. If you do want to know, ask David Tamkin. And everyone should remember that as of now, 708 *must* be used on suburban Chicago calls. 312 is only for Chicago. The cutover is 12:01 AM Saturday morning. PT]
