Here at Brandeis University, 9+1+an unused NPA (e.g. 909) triggers a
recorded message saying this number cannon be reached.  I just tried
9+1+908, and the same message was triggered.  Obviously, nobody at the
telecommunications department is aware of the 201/908 split yet.  I
suppose I'll call in the morning and tell someone about it, but it
might be interesting to see how long it takes them to figure it out on
their own.  BTW, when is the official cutover date for 201/908?  [510
and 903 don't work either] The system also triggers that message on
9+1+700!  I guess I'll never know what our default carrier is, huh?
Doesn't matter if you can't dial 10XXX anyway.
