TDI Big Blue Book Blues
posted in Current Affairs, Deaf, Money, deaf culture |I received the TDI Big Blue Book yesterday. I checked the New York Listing.
I recognized many names and addresses in Rochester, NY. Over 90% are still listed with the 716 area code! Un-freaking-believable!
When was the Rochester area code 585 in operation? November 15, 2001! Over FIVE years ago!
How difficult would it be to set up a database function matching Rochester NY zip codes to the area code, and then automate the area code change?
Why wait for the subscribers to change? And I can see that many don’t even bother. Even my fax number is wrong. Fine with me to make junk faxers waste their money.
Callers beware - odds are that you’ll be wasting long distance charges on wrong phone number, and can’t even hear the operator telling you that it’s a wrong number.
Remember - Rochester NY area code is 585!
