A C&P pay phone in Elkton which is on 301-398 prefix has new calling
instructions. Maryland is running out of NNX prefixes, and apparently
provision is being made to switch to NXX prefixes.
Station-to-station: local--(7 digit) number
toll-- 1 + area code + number
All 0+ calls require area code.
(Yes, "area code" can include 301.)dave@westmark.UUCP (09/16/87)

Maryland must be one of the few places left that hasn't adopted this dialing plan. I would expect most of the US to be on 1+ or 0+ ten digits before long. Because if the widespread use of this dialing plan, areas where it is not required generally permit it, for the benefit of travelers from other parts. -- Dave Levenson Westmark, Inc. A node for news.
