I called 718-976-3838 again recently, and just got phone bill
showing NEW YORK, NY again for it.  (718 should be fully cut
over by now, so this seems to be a permanent arrangement?)

Rule of thumb in Los Angeles area: if zipcode is 91xxx, phone
is probably in 818 area; if 90xxx, in 213 area.

Here in Oregon/Washington, Pacific Northwest Bell has been offering
something like the Pac Telesis "Premier communications system" for
several months now.  It's called the "Centrex" system.  Their radio and
newspaper ads harp upon the fact that there's no equipment on your
premises, it's easy to upgrade and downgrade, and they claim an average
two hours downtime in forty years.
