Overlaying 440 over the 216 WOULD solve the number problem because they could
assign the same number twice. I would LOVE to get 440-731-3030 to go along
with my 216-731-3030 ( my voice line 216, my data / fax line 440 ) but
for some raason they don't want to do it that way.

The way I understand it,  ALL Cuyahoga county would stay 216
everything outside Cuy county , that didn't go to 330, will go to 440.
I'm still not sure about cut dates, I'v heard everything from 1997 to 1999.
