It occurs to me that you can now dial any call (within country code 1,
for international readers of the Digest) in the DC area as 1+NPA+7D.
The May 4, 1990  {Washington Post} article (excerpted & paraphrased in
very recent posting from me) cited optional 1+ for local calls across
NPA lines, and the new NPA+7D calling scheme works within your own NPA
if you are calling locally in & around DC, right?

If correct, this is beginning to answer the problem of moving speed-
dial program, etc., across NPA lines.
