Every once in a while, you'll see something in a newspaper about "person(s)
dialing a certain number forgot to dial the area code (which could also be
800 or 900), and the call(s) went to so-and-so".  For example, a certain
number on 976 prefix was advertised on a New York cable TV station, and
it was received in Philadelphia area by some people who dialed the number
and forgot to dial the area code.

Question regarding the above:  Does 1+ dialing have an impact?
(Instructions in Phila. & Pa. suburbs: dial local no. for local call;
1+local no. for elsewhere in 215 area; 1+areacode+local no. for outside
215 area.  But in NJ, most places do NOT require 1+ for any within-areacode
calls, and [before N0X/N1X prefixes in 201 area] did not require 1+
for out-of-areacode calls.)

The U.S. telecom network is rapidly running out of
area codes.  Discussion in ANSI telecommunications
network committees suggest that 1+ may be required
for all long distance calls, so that LD calls can
be recognized without restricting area codes to 
N0N or N1N.  For example, in the brave new world,
I could be in area code 222, and be dialed
as 1-222-555-1212.
