[comp.dcom.telecom] Area codes 903/905 and Mexico rates

AI.CLIVE@MCC.COM (Clive Dawson) (02/24/88)

The Mexico area codes definitely do not overlap all of country
code 52.  Area code 905 is used for Mexico City, (52-5-nnn-nnnn),
and area code 903 is used for certain areas of northern Mexico,
but I'm not sure of the exact mapping.

P.S.  While on the subject, does anybody know whether any non-ATT
carriers have lines into Mexico?  The last time I checked, the highest
price per mile for a phone call from the U.S. was for calls to Mexico.
In fact, calls to Mexico were the most expensive overall, regardless
of the distance.  Does anybody who has checked more recently have any
counterexamples?  (When comparing rates, I normally use the "per each
additional minute" charge during the most discounted time period.
E.G.  Austin, TX to Mexico City is 97 cents; Austin to Hong Kong is 81
cents.)
