Does anyone know what the 980 prefix in the 508 area code is? If you dial the digits "980" from a 371 (Concord) exchange, you get a bizarre tone. If you type 4 more digits (random ones) and wait a few seconds, the line goes dead. Staying on the line for a while longer will reactivate it (disconnect and reissue a dial tone). I discovered this while trying to locate the ring-back number for numbers in the 508-371-xxxx exchange. (I was unsuccessful in locating the number after trying quite a few unused (or unpublished) exchanges).
