[comp.dcom.telecom] Area Codes --> Locations

joe@ucsd.edu (Joe Kittel) (10/12/89)

Has anyone seen a listing of up-to-date area codes, by area codes?  In other
words a list you can use to "map" an area code to a location.  I've found
a current list I have to be useful, but it's becoming out-of-date.

Please e-mail a copy, or post it if you must (don't seem to be able to
read notes very often).

I know a number at Bellcore which lets you key an area code and
exchange, then speaks the location name using what sounds like a
DECtalk speech synthesiser.  This is the same list which the BOCs use
to determine call location for printing your bill, so it is kept very
up to date.  Because the location names are limited to a maximum
number of characters in length, some of them are unpronounceable.  The
speech sysnthesiser spells these out.

If you want the number, mail me and I'll send it to you.

Be seeing you...
