And the 498 exchange, Alief, Texas, > is called Gypsy 8. I'm in the 497 exchange, and as far as I know it's still called "Buffalo". At least that's what I see listed as the originating area on the LD section of my bill. I'll ask my in-laws in the 498 exchange what they get. Let's see... according to my 89/90 phone book, Buffalo consists of the following prefixes: 293, 493, 496, 497, 531, 556, 558, 584, 596, 870. THe 498 prefix is in the Alief exchange, along with: 495, 530, 561, 568, 575, 879, 933. Just for reference, the 666 prefix is in the Mohawk exchange.
