Robson) Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: Re: Area Code 408 and 1+ Dialing Message-ID: Date: 1 Mar 91 06:46:19 GMT Sender: news@casbah.acns.nwu.edu (Mr. News) Organization: TELECOM Digest Lines: 11 Approved: Telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Telecom-Digest: Volume 11, Issue 168, Message 3 of 15 Originator: telecom@delta.eecs.nwu.edu X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: hub.eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@eecs.nwu.edu I live in Santa Cruz, which is a part of the 408 area code. When I dial numbers in the greater Bay Area (415), I am required to dial a 1+ first. Even if I want to make a zone 3 call within my own area code (say, to Sunnyvale or San Jose), I am still required to dial a 1+ before the rest of the number. I don't know whether I am the norm or the exception in the 408 AC. Seth I. Robson; srobson@ucscb.ucsc.edu (the ascii assassin) University o'California, Santa Cruz.
