The digits are identifying the office which has intercepted the call
by the area code and the succeding digit. The letter indicates the
type of recorded announcement reached,

405- 2 is (or at least was) a 4A in Oaklahoma City
215- 1 is an office in Wayne (PA?)

I don't know what announcement T is but 
Announcement N is all circuits busy
             O is overload conditions
             P is failed call try again
             L is call cannot be completed as dialled
                please try again (is this T?)
             X flexible message for situations of emergency
               flood fire earth quake affecting routing etc.
