Is there an easy way to get information about local calling areas out of telcos? I'm trying to get a list of area codes and prefixes in my local calling area out of Verizon, and it looks like they've stopped providing the information online. Is there an easy source that I'm missing, or do I need to call them and have them mail me a copy every few months? Scott

The response was universally "You can purchase that information from a number of 3rd party sources." Which generally meant TelCordia (evil Belcore) who charges insane amounts for the information. <rant>If you find a source for this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Personally I think it should be criminal for them NOT to provide anybody who asks with a list of what is and is not local. You should be able to ask, in an automated way, before each call.</rant> -S

Lots of responses, but here is my 2 Cents of what
works well for me
Downloaded my local NPA/NXX combinations from
following web site.
http://members.dandy.net/~czg/search.html
Added them to the internal Asterisk DB with DB put
So when an outbound call comes, I strip off the
NPA, NXX, do a lookup in the internal DB,
If found, dial Zap, If not found, does goto and dials
out my voicepulse.
Yes, I have to maintain this database, but I can do
this 2 or 3 times a year.
Had to do this because I have 136 local NPA/NXX
combinations.
Good luck
exten =>
_9NXXNXXXXXX,1,DBget(IsLocal=${EXTEN:1:3}/${EXTEN:4:3})
exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,2,Dial,Zap/1/${EXTEN:1}|60
exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,3,Hangup
exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX,102,Goto(150)
150 does the voicepulse dialout
