I have just seen N0X/N1X in use in 214 area (includes Dallas, TX, in the
same state where 713 split without going to N0X/N1X?).  The phone book says
to use areacode 214 for direct-dial long-distance calls within that area.
Since the Dallas & suburban N0X/N1X points I saw are not far from the
817 areacode boundary, it's necessary to check for their being local to
points in 817 area!  (It turns out that 2 of those N0X/N1X prefixes do
have local service into 817 area, which, like 214, requires area code for
direct-dial long distance calls within itself.)

New Jersey 201 area also has N0X/N1X, and it and 609 both now require 1+ on
direct-dial out-of-area calls (but what about those out-of-area calls which
were local earlier--i.e., you could dial them AND all points in your N.J.
area code with just the 7-digit local number).
