	Actually.......
	(700) 555-XXXX  will tell  you who  your carrier  is.  For  some
reason unclear to  me, they sometimes  say XXXX is  1212, 2121 or  4141.
Makes no diff.  POPCORN (Time in the  Bay Area is the same, POP-XXXX  is
just as good.
	(905) (903) and (706) are what I guess can be called pseudo-area
codes. (706) Northwest Mexico and (905) Mexico City are listed as dialing
arrangements for AREAS NOT EQUIPPED FOR INTERNATIONAL DIALING.  In fact,
they list  them  90+5  (the  city code)  and  70+(two  or  three  digits
beginning with 6).  I assume (903) is the same type of arrangement.
	(700) is one of AT&T's "reserved" ACs.  Besides the carrier ID,
they also use it for Alliance Teleconferencing Service.
