Well, I tried 10xxx last night to dial 818 area from 310 area. It did not 
work.  I got a message saying that my long distance company cannot access 
that area. I ended up dialing 00 to have the operator connect it for me.
I am in the GTE area and my long distance company is Sprint. Right now
I don't know if it is GTE that purposely blocked the connection or Sprint
screwed up. But Sprint's operator will file a problem report.
