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]
