Recent messages in telecom say that area code 404 in Georgia is apparently preparing for N0X/N1X prefixes. Does this affect area 912? (912, by the way, is an "easier-to-dial" area code on a dial telephone.) Other cases where a state has 2 area codes, one of which got N0X/N1X prefixes: New Jersey, areas 201 and 609; 201 got N0X/N1X, and the new dialing require- ments also applied to area 609 for statewide uniformity (and later, two N0X/ N1X prefixes were made local to Barnegat, in area 609). Virginia, areas 703 and 804; 703 got N0X/N1X, apparently limited to the DC area suburbs (all but the outermost ones also being reachable in area 202). 804 did NOT get the new dialing requirements (however, DC and Maryland did, so that 703, 202, and 301 all now dial long-distance and 0+ calls the same way). (Did 817 get the same dialing requirements as 214 did when the latter got N0X/N1X?)

Yes. Since Fort Worth is in 817, and Dallas is in 214, and there is a large base of Metro telephone numbers in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Perhaps I should say that Ft. Worth got the same dialing requirements as Dallas ( and I should know, an old girlfriend lives in Ft Worth, and I have a Dallas area Metro number, and we have to use 10 digit dialing ) As for statewide uniformity, I don't think that is currently in place in Texas, except the regions around Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Houston, and remember that Texas (currently) has seven (7) NPA's ( which seven is left as an exercise to the reader :-) -- Eric Schnoebelen, JBA Incorporated, Lewisville, Tx. egs@u-word.dallas.tx.us ...!killer!u-word!egs Real Programmers: Real Programmers have trouble suppressing homicidal tendencies when asked, "Are you sure?"
