Kevin L. Blatter AT&T - Bell Labs Disclaimer - The opinions expressed herein are my own and have nothing to do whatsoever with my employer. [Moderator's Note: Mercy! All two hundred villages and towns in northern Illinois? I haven't the nerve to ask David Tamkin to type in such a list. The general rule of thumb would be this: Chicago, zip code 606xx, will be in 312. All other towns in the 600-601-602 zip codes will be 708. Take any old area code directory you have now. If the listing for a place in northern Illinois says 815, leave it alone. If it says 312 and is *not* Chicago, change it to 708. Some 604xx zip codes will also be in 708, although many are presently in 815. If someone wants to enter all the 'parks', i.e. Park Ridge, Park Forest, Forest Park, Oak Park, more; and all the variations on Chicago, i.e. Chicago Heights, North Chicago, West Chicago, (but not South Chicago! that *is* part of the city proper); all the 'Forests' including the two above, also Lake Forest, more, I'll be glad to post it here. Remember, if it is not "Chicago" -- no more, no less, with a 606xx zip code, and it isn't 815, then it is 708. Chicago central offices are usually identified as Chicago-office.name. PT]
