Found the following in the latest issue of Inbound/Outbound:
{As prveviously mentioned in Telecom Digest} Companies in Northern California
counties of Alameda and Contra Costa should start thinking about ordering new
stationery and business cards. Those counties will be getting a new area code
-510- effective October, 1991. {Previously discussed as well - the first use
of a non traditional numbering for area codes}
{As mentioned on almost every morning radio show around the country!} You
don't have to fly to Italy to get a private audience with the Pope. For the
price of an overseas phone call you can access the Vatican's voice mail system
and hear a recorded message from Pope John Paul II himself.
Vatican Radio uses the system to broadcast daily messages recorded by the Pope
in English, Italian and Spanish. To access the English language service from
the US, dial 011-39-7779-3020. {Gasp! More 8 digit phone numbers!}
