i just got phone service through diamond state bell and i have some
questions about problems i'm having. my area code is 302 & exchange
is 292 (newark).

newark, de is equal access, right?
is it legal for them to block my access to long distance companies
via 10-xxx ? i find that i can't access any carriers at all and i
certainly did not request this in any way. (when i signed up they
asked who i wanted for my default carrier so i'm sure i should have
equal-access) what do i do about this?

second, do they actually prevent tone from working if you don't ask
for tone, ie. am i wasting $1.40/month by paying for a tt line?
