I haven't seen much in the way of answers as to what this stuff is, other than we can ID a box of paper pretty accurately ... I don't recognize much else...
The New York State Public Service Commission approved today, Wednesday 16-December-2009, an additional area code to overlay the "outer boroughs", i.e., Bronx,...
... Which compares pretty much with the current situation in the U.K., except that we don't have an equivalent of the do/don't we need to dial 1 first issue,...
... The "International Freedom" option offered by BT here is a good example. Inclusive calls of up 1-hour duration to 36 international destinations, including...
You are correct on many points. "COs" have quickly evolved to heavily utilize fiber optics. Use of copper (DS0/1/3) connections are getting fewer and fewer....
... I think you mean LOCAL CALLING AREA, not the more restrictive term "ratecenter" here. A _ratecenter_ is a single specific area which is defined by tariff...
Joseph, Here in CT if you call within your rate center you can not dial 1+10 you get a recording telling you not to dial the 1. If you call outside your rate...
Hi John, I have some friends in town who are considering signing up to provide better coverage at home until T-Mobile gets permission to add 5 or 6 more towers...
Wireless dialing rule comment: T-mobile (GSM) allows all calls ( in US/CAN ) to be dialed as 10 digits since my "home" service area ( Washngton/Baltimore ) is...
... Some states indeed do it right. It's been that way for years that you can dial 7, 10 or 1+10 to complete local calls in Washington state. + - + - + - + -...
... To each his own... But remember that you can't dial 4 or 5 digits for calls within your own NXX c.o.code or code-block (anymore). It was possible in many...
Just because its the law, does not make it stupid. If I dial 7 digits it means I clearly intend on dialing within my own area code, if I dial 10 digits, it...
There were news items dated Friday 11-December-2009 and also on Saturday (I only came across them today, Monday, using Google News searches), that the Arkansas...
... [ ... ] ... You don't yet live in an overlay -- Western Washington State (you show area code 425) is NOT yet overlaid with 564. But when that overlay is in...
... Some people really do want to know when there's an additional or greater charge than making an untimed local call. + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + Joseph...
I don't normally get into making predictions but here's a couple... I predict that the whole meaning of "central office" will (d)evolve from being a switching...
If I dial 7 digits within an area code, it should just go thru, if I dial 10 digits, it should just go thru, if I dial 1+10 digits, it should just go thru. It...
... Ummm... do NOT refer to LATA when you SHOULD refer to NPA. YES, I know that Maine (and Rhode Island) are still COMPLETELY ONE area code, but LATAs and AREA...
On Mon, 12/14/09, long-lines at att.net ... But the dialing rules discussion applies to landlines, primarily ILECs but also to CLECs as well. Wireless...
That is why some states had: * 7D Local dialing * 1+7D Intrastate/LATA * 1+10D Interstate/LATA I think some states may still allow subscribers to opt-in 1+7D...
... [snip] ... Since more and more people are using cellphones more so than landline, and since it doesn't seem to matter to you about local vs. toll charges ...
... Does CT have toll alerting? Even if it does it's possible to program the switch to *allow* 1+10 D calling on all calls. That's the way it is here in...
... So, even though Providence developed as Panel/#1XB (and newer #5XB), the outlying areas were SXS, and followed the 1+ 7D/10D "rules", as did MOST of the US...
... Well, there never were any truly universal rules at any point in time. MOST states are NOT the "inmates" when it comes to dialing rules for local/toll....
Mark, I question your remark "free to investigate HOW MUCH such a call could cost them". From the folks I speak to if they intend on calling someone they will...
My memories stretch back to the late 1960's on. Toll dialing in RI was 1+7D. 1+NPA+7D for inter-LATA. No need for the full ten digit number to be dialed for in...
... Locations served by Panel and Xbar were 10 digit toll as were 800 numbers, as was the case in much/all of the US served by these local switches Locations...
... MOST of the US and ALL of Canada use 1+ required for toll, thus it HAS become a "consumer" issue, even if it wasn't originally intended as such. ... We're...
