Dialing 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 >>sent me to immediate intercept with a message saying, "When dialing a call >>outside the 312 area, you must dial '1' before the number. When calling >>within 312, do not dial '1' first." PT] In Sacramento (916-364) I get "We're sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed..." [Moderator's Note: Well here in Eye Bee Tee land, '234' is assigned to the village of Lake Forest, IL. 234-5678 *was* a working number, but now goes to the standard intercept message. Adding the '1' on the front causes the problem, at least until 708 kicks in. PT]
