[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I vaguely remember that when NYC got a new area code that people wanted the 212 instead of 917 (I think that is the right AC) because the 212 was the original AC of NYC and it seemed to be a status symbol of some kind. [/quote] 212 was assigned because NYC was the biggest US city at the time, and it takes teh shortest time to dial on a rotary phone. Area codes can't start with a 1, and it used to be that the second digit could be only 0 or 1. LA got 213, Chicago got 312, Detroit got 313, Pittsburgh got 412, and so on.. Back in 1947 when they setup area codes.[/quote] Who got 211? [/quote]
