Anchorage, Alaska does not require 1+ to preceed _any_ long-distance
call. (it's all one NPA) That can make for some surprises if you
should mistakenly dial Galena or some such place. Alaska intra-state
rates are also very high. Kenai-Anchorage night rate was 0.10/min when
I lived there ... Kenai-Seattle was only 0.12!
