(need area code on toll calls within it) 919, North Carolina, 1989? (need area code on toll calls within it) 313, Michigan, 1989? (1+ removed from 1+7D for toll calls within it) When N0X/N1X area codes run out and NXX area codes become necessary, I take it that that will be known, too. (For example, 1+7D is still in use in Delaware. Where area codes and prefixes can use the same 3 digits, it is necessary for leading 1 to mean that "what follows is an area code", and use of NXX area codes would force that meaning of leading 1 into use in areas not already having it, right?)
