First, dialing a 10XXX code reveals that it is in the SF LATA, since I was informed that "a company code is not required for this call". Second, I dialed a couple of numbers at random and got the "number you have reached..." recording in a man's voice. Third, dialing the prefix plus "4411" netted an answer (in the same man's voice) "Good evening 'Information'. May I help you?" Oops! Sorry wrong number! Do you suppose that was Mr. Bryan himself?
