Service in the Nortwest Territories, Canada:
I was going through the phone books looking for the Ottawa/Hull listings
when I came across the listing for the western North West Territories
(Canada). Interesting...NorthwesTel Inc. claims to service 65,000 customers
in an area of 2.35 million sq Km..including such fun places as Snowdrift,
Tungsten and Tuktoyaktuk. The 403 code area is _BIG_. From Beaver Creek in
the SW corner of the Yukon to Cambdrige Bay on Victoria Island is about 1200
miles (720 km).
Just curious, what is the largest area code area (at least on land)?..Just an
aside, the book also appears to have dialing instructions..except I don't read
Innuit chracters so I don't really know what it says. I wonder what the book
for Eastern NWT looks like?
Just another stranded Canadian..

Also, 1200 statute miles = 1900 km (very roughly). Ross
