It used to be that you could tell an area code from a exchange prefix by the fact that the middle digit of all area codes was either zero or one with exchange prefixes having 2 through 9 in that position. Now in Los Angeles you can have a phone in the 306 exchange (306 is also the area code for Saskatchewan). I wonder how many computer programs are now going to break (they had lots of fun trying to get our non-Bell PBX to understand it).
