Another problem is that many PBX's are programmed to reject area codes
(to reduce phone abuse). Since public knowledge of 908 is virtually
non-existant, most system administrators have not turned 908 on yet.

Incidentally, while on a 411 call to get a number from NJ Bell
information I asked "is the 908 area code working fully now?" - and
got the response "what are you talking about, there is NO 908 area
code here in my list"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO KIDDING!
