The ads (obviously reaching NJ and not just NY) for 540-xxxx numbers
include a note listing areas 212, 718, 516, 914 and stating that the
service is not available in New Jersey.  (Yes, I already know of
201-540 in Morristown, and that some people might forget the special
meaning of 540-xxxx in those NY areas.)  Has anyone on 201-540 gotten
calls intended for 540 exchange in NY?
