[comp.dcom.telecom] 301-642 changed operation?

I made a local call from a pay phone in Perryville, Md. (301-642)
yesterday.  This is one of the exchanges where on the payphones
you had to wait for the call to be answered before you deposited
the money.  Not so with that call I made on it yesterday; I put
the money in at the outset.  Apparently that "strange" feature
tripped up a lot of people (me once) who are from other exchange
areas.  Still have not checked 301-378 Port Deposit, a neighboring
exchange.
