quick question about local NPAs

[coniglio]

I have an office in San Fran, area code 415. They can seven-digit dial home NPA local calls and home NPA toll calls. My question is, what is the EASIEST and QUICKEST way for me to determine what exchanges in 415 are local and what exchanges are toll? Is there any other way besides trying to get a phone book (I'm 3000 miles away)? Thanks for your help.

the phone book is on line for every city in the world. you SHOULD be able to see a difference in the switch if the person that set them up is sending area + calls to the local route and unit (npa toll) to a ld interlata carrier. otherwise your paying to much..

i didn't know all phone books were online. I'll try to find it. They don't use the area code for local calls and they also seven-digit dial for regional toll calls within their NPA. I can't go by what my predecessor set up. Thanks JohnPoole.

Hmm, I thought 415 and 510 went to 11 digit dialing a couple of years ago, even within their own area code. I haven't seen anything like that online. Originally being from the Bay Area, I do remember Pac Bell did show this information within the phone book. You may be stuck with having someone at that office shipping you, or scanning and faxing you, that page.

Johnpoole,

I found that site as well, but it only lets you look at 5 NXX's in a 48 hour period. Plus it doesn't give you what he is looking for. Say your in the 415 area code and your NXX is 223. He wants to see what NXX's within the 415 area code are free and which are toll calls.

Exactly McGruff (oh, and by the way, I am a she!). I guess I'll ask the office manager to rip out the pages I need from the phone book...thanks anyway. PS: McGruff, according to nanpa.com they can still seven-digit dial.

that's new to me, i thought all areas were taking advantage of one line phone books because of the adv money..my bad..

Here is a site that will provide your calling rate plans. Click on the link below, then enter your NPA and NXX in the areas provided. The result will include the CO and owner of the CO along with the CLLI. Clcik on the NPA-NXX displayed on the left and it will list the NPA/NXX's that are supposed to be local to that NPA along with the zone. Hope this helps.

This really doesn't answer your question about a finding a good source for local NXX's (boy, I'd like to find that myself!), but... Here is a link to an NANPA press release that says that 415 requires 10-digit dialing since 2000 (NPA + 7 digits)

http://www.nanpa.com/press_releases/pr_041299.html

I wonder if the RLI for local NXX has a DMI table that inserts the 415 before outpulsing the call?

so

http://www.nanpa.com

is wrong? I would think their info was up-to-date. Or am I misreading this:

Coniglio,

First of all, oops, sorry. I shouldn't have assumed. My bad.

Secondly, I read both the press release and the info you posted and was a little confused as to are they, or are they not, dialing 10 digits. I guess I could check with some of my old buddies out there.

That's okay about the "he" vs. "she"! I thought it was pretty amusing. I guess I'll just wait and see what everyone says. I'll also ask my San Fran office manager, although she's the type to say why am I asking her when I should be the one who knows this...thanks everyone.
