Notional Numbers Hint at Local Signals
A casual riff suggests combining a seven digit telephone number with an area code to form a full dial plan. The piece hints at understanding local communications by assembling the digits and considering what the completed sequence reveals about the surroundings.
Dialing area codes becomes mandatory for local calls
Beginning May 1 1997 residents must dial the area code for local calls as phone numbers run short. The change affects all phones including faxes and cell devices while 911 and 411 stay the same. New area codes will be introduced such as 240 and 443 to expand numbers.
