Oops, maybe I should have added "adjacent" to my message warning about
301/310 etc., given the message I have received about 415/514.  (I
also had a case where I answered a Newark, Delaware pay phone on
302-366 exchange, was asked by a British-sounding operator if I would
accept a collect call, and I said I didn't think I could since I was
on a pay phone; I started reciting the number, including the area
code, where I was, and the operator said "203, 302 -- oh, wrong
number.")
