Pac*Bell says, (and to correct slightly Carl Moore's excellent area code history in V. 10 #837): 510 goes into effect September 2, 1991, and 310 goes on line Nov. 2,1991, so Bell Atlantic's a bit off on their claim. I'm wondering though exactly where the border between 301 and 410 will be. Will BWI be included? Also, in reference to "Bob Goudreau"'s question (V10 #833) about large metro areas switching codes, San Diego got the burn when 619 was carved out of 714. It was certainly much bigger than any of the suburbs in Orange County that got to keep the old code. Maybe Orange County has more political clout. A. Jacobson
