[comp.dcom.telecom] 890 Area Code??

GREEN@WHARTON.UPENN.EDU ("Scott D. Green, Classroom Services") (06/02/87)

I understood (from Bell o' PA, I think) that they were setting up 890 as
a toll-free exchange for reaching the Business Office, rather that the
800- numbers they had been using.  It always seemed a little absurd to use
an 800- number to call across town, anyway.  Sounds a little like the 950-
exchange they set up for no-charge calls to the ALDCo's.
