Serious answers only. Smart alec and rude or off topic replies will be reported as abuse.In The USA, why are there no telephone area codes beginning with the numeral "1"?
hi,
you can find a detailed explanation here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Numbering_Plan
and by following the links in it for: North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA)
mainly:
the numbers starting with 1 are for toll numbers:
special numbers like emergency and social services
toll free numbers: 18xx
corporate national numbers at fixed cost nationwide.
enjoy the reading in this beautifull world of telecoms
