Local calls from Pa. to Del. now require the area code; previously, Chester Heights (Pa.) had 7-digit dialing to Phila. and suburban Phila. and West Chester and (now requiring area code) Wilmington/Newport/Holly Oak (Del.). A recent advertisement I received had 456 prefix in Newark, Del. This duplicates a prefix in Philadelphia. Also, I notice that phone prefixes in Lambertville, Ewing, and Trenton, NJ (all of which have local service into part of area 215 in Pa.) are not dup- licated in area 215.
