In my recent credit-card calls, I have noticed that the prompt
tone is shorter and softer than it used to be.

I have seen comments about 617-460 not being reachable from some
long-distance point.  I recall trying to place 0+ call within Md.
to 850 prefix and finally had to ask the operator to call it.
(850 was new and not yet recognized by the system although I was
dialing a working number?)

I hear from a lecture on flirting that some people have had bad
experiences which harm later flirting; one such experience is
receiving a wrong phone number when the couple has to break off
a conversation.  I wonder in what ways would the phone # be
wrong?

10 dialed from my residence phone (302-731) used to get the local
operator without waiting for timeout, but equal access apparently
put an end to that.
