Lines: 26 *** In some areas of the US, it is necessary to have numbers of the form 1 (nnn) nnn-nnnn. In others it is an error to do that. Is it necessary in Europe? If it is, I hope that people in Europe know about it. There is no way of knowing who needs what here. For instance were I live I dial: 1 415 nnn-nnnn to call a San Francisco area code. But in Santa Clara, which is in THE SAME AREA CODE as here, I have to dial 415 nnn-nnnn If someone gave their phone number as "1 415 nnn nnnn" it would be fine to dial that number here, but it would not work in Santa Clara. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr.
