phone numbers....

if you don't live in MS you probably won't care at all about this post (just thought I would warn all 2 of you) as of today to call anyone in the our local area (the 601 area code) you will have to dial 10 digits instead of just 7.... I promise I am not so lazy that dialing three extra digits is going to keep me from making phone call (not that I make many in the first place) but I do have a question... Are there really so many ppl in the 601 area code that they are running out of #'s so they have to add a new area code? (this is the reason stated for changing to 10 digit dialing, they are having to add another area code because they have run out of, or anticipate running out of soon, 601 #'s) I know that most states have tons of area codes and MS, until this point, has only had 2, but are there that many ppl here? I don't mind having to dial 3 more numbers (even though it was somewhat of a hassle this morning when I lost my dial up connection, yes I still have dial up, and it was after midnight so I had to go in and change the way the #'s are dialed so I could get back online and finish what I was doing) I am just wondering how necessary it all really is.... sorry for boring you all with this....

It is probably because of Nissan. Snce every single desk has it's own phone number.
