 Since most phone companies centralized DA you can call 411 for
non-local DA and avoid the charge for 1-555-1212 (Mainly works for
BOC's ), since 1-555-1212 call usually goes to the BOC for the A/C and
they transfer you to other DA operator for non Bell areas.  United
Telephone has one DA for all of Florida (I think) so I when I was
living in a United area I could call 411 and get DA for other area
codes of United.
