 This reporter, believe it or not, is NOT incorrect. About four days
ago I received a letter from Bell of Pennsylvania which stated the
EXACT same thing, reinforcing the fact that they were eliminating the
'1' to gain more numbers. How, I have no idea. I will try to find the
letter and will type a copy to everyone. As well, I have an interview
set up with a Bell of Pennsylvania official scheduled for after the
holidays, and will get the technical scoop then. This one definately
requires more investigating!
