This is probably the > intent -- after all, Bell 'owns' New Jersey. New Jersey now does require the 1+ for all inter-area-code calls, and does not permit it on intra-area-code calls. You still can't tell whether something within your area code is a local call. If it's within the area but outside your local calling area, you still dial seven digits. As far as I know, this is required in all three of New Jersey's area codes. Dave Levenson Internet: dave@westmark.com Westmark, Inc.
