An insert in my latest phone bill says AT&T is going to start using the 890 area code to augment it's current 800 toll free service; I suppose, with the need to allocate some of the 800 prefixes to the alternates, they have simply run out of prefixes in 800. But 890 surely is a strange area code, with that 9 in the middle; my ESS currently doesn't parse 1-890-xxx-xxxx correctly, thinking that it is a local prefix of 890 and not an area code. Is this the first area code that is not N0X or N1X? Frank Prindle Prindle@NADC.arpa
