I tried calling 908 from my office (served by GTE in WA state) and got
nowhere.  Also my Sprint line at home will not accept 908 calls.  I
have the Bellcore letter announcing 908, but it seems to have a LONG
period of permissive dialling...til June 1991!

When I called GTE about it, they claimed that there was NO 908 area
code.  When I read the Bellcore letter, I was passed to a supervisor
who claimed that New Jersey Bell had decided not to implement it "just
yet"!
