Message-ID: Date: 14 Jan 89 03:31:59 GMT Sender: chip@vector.UUCP Lines: 16 Approved: telecom-request@vector.uucp X-Submissions-To: telecom@bu-cs.bu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.uucp X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 18, message 1 My parents (in San Mateo, CA -- a suburb of San Francisco -- "415" area code) told me that, starting in February, they will have to start dial- ing "1" before area codes. (Up till now, they've just dialed the area code and the seven-digit number.) At about the same time, my MCI bill contained a short announcement of this same thing (why they told me, in Los Angeles, I have no idea), and it said this was part of a plan by Pacific Bell to introduce a new area code in the San Francisco Bay area. I'd be interested in any comments from the net about this development. -- Rich Wales // UCLA Computer Science Department // +1 (213) 825-5683 3531 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, California 90024-1596 // USA wales@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!(uunet,ucbvax,rutgers)!cs.ucla.edu!wales "Now, if you do see me again today, I want you to report it to me immediately."
