When the new area code in Illinois arrived last fall, Illinois Bell
had a nationwide WATS number that you could call which would prompt
you to dial a 3 digit prefix, and then tell you whether or not it was
in the new area code.

Is there any service like this for the new 908 code?  Any other way
of finding out some exact definitions of the area it covers?  I need
to update my mailing list at the office, and also a list that I use to
cross reference the first three digits of a postal Zip Code to the
telephone area code.
