The Area Code

PROBLEM
Where in the world is this area code? There
seems to be no rhyme or reason to the
National Area Code system!
SOLUTION
Your message pad or your answering ma-·
chine only gives you a number to call with a
name. In order to figure out how to cram a
pile of calls into the right time zones and to
get back to everybody before 5pm Eastern,
Central, Mountain, or Pacific time, this
chart has taken the map at the front of the
phone book and given you a numerical cross
reference.

SET-UP
By using a copy of the phone book map
(some areas have multiple area codes i.e.
New York City, Los Angeles, etc.) and this
chart, it's a short-cut for anybody calling
long distance or answering blind phone
number want-ads.
NOTE
The phone company doesn't have this chart,
and AT&T wanted to sell me an area code
textbook, so I took the time to work it out. It's
bugged me not having one of these ever since
touch-tone was invented, and I hope you
enjoy using it!
