Message-ID:Date: 22 Jul 89 16:28:15 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 11 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 201, message 4 of 8 I talked to my local business office today and hear that 1+302 is now required on local calls from Pennsylvania to Delaware (apparently not the other way around, because my own local service includes 2 Pa. prefixes and I have received no instruction changes). What prompted this was my recent notice of prefixes 427 and 886 (both Wilmington, as I hear from business office) in recent ads, and my observation that they duplicate prefixes in metro Phila. (Phila. and Jenkintown respectively). Previously, such local calls were 7 digits, and when you were in Chester Heights exchange (358 and 459 in area 215), you had 7 digit calling to Phila. & suburbs, plus West Chester and Wilmington.
