My understanding is that long-distance rates are not changed by an
area-code split (but that is based on my reading the {Washington Post}
1973 article -- now long ago -- about the 703/804 split in Virginia).
I am still assuming that recent splits would be taken into account,
say, for the upcoming Maryland split; and I have read in this Digest a
while back that there was some sort of charge waiver for directory
assistance calls between two area codes (one of which areas just
having been formed by splitting the other).

You might also consider where in Maryland you are calling.


[Moderator's Note: In Chicago, the 312/708 split had no affect on
billing whatsoever. Local calls remained local.  PAT]
