Message-ID: Date: 15 Jul 89 03:53:09 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 8 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 238, message 7 of 7 I have a side note to JSol's message about Boston area calling plans. I used to live in a suburb quite a way outside Boston (it's now part of area 508) and had Metropolitan service. The free calling area consisted of two non-contiguous areas, the normal local area and the Metro area. Since the introduction of 508 was promoted as not changing local calling areas I assume this service would still be available with two free areas each completely within different area codes and not touching in any location.
