According to  the news  reports on  KYW this  morning, no  additional phone
charges  will be  leveid  when calling  between 610  and  215.  This  seems
reasonable since  other regions of the  country have had similar  area code
rearangements and I  haven't heard of any of those  folks affected by those
changes being asked to  shell out more bucks to call  phones that were once
in the same area code.

Oh?  Very well.

    When New York City split from 212 to 212/718, the local phone
company swore that they wouldn't raise the rates for out-of-area local
calls.  They didn't.  Not for nearly a year.

Now you've heard about it.

Does anyone have any information regarding COMMON LAW in Pennsylvania?

If a child is involved and the couple never had the intention of getting 
married, what are the rights of the father?

Actually, the situation that I am referring to, the couple never planned 
marriage or considered common law, but had a child.  And the father never 
wanted the child in the first place, but rather strongly indicated that the 
female get an abortion, which obviously she did not.  He made life rather 
complicated during her pregnancy and at one point she moved out, but returned 
for the birth of a daughter.  Now he is fighting for custody.  The story gets 
complicated in the fact that there are a number of reasons why the mother 
does not want the child to be seen by the father:  verbal attack on the 
mother and her family and drugs in the environment.

Does anyone have any advise on this subject?  What ARE the father's rights?

Thanks,
GRACE

In addition to being a member of PACS (see the .sig) I'm also employed
by Bell of PA as a Systems Technician - Data in Center City Philly. A
few days before the news was officially announced, we received advance
information detailing the proposed split.

Nothing I recieved indicated that there were any changes planned for
local calling areas or rates charged for those calls. Any changes would
have to be approved by the PUC and that takes a lot of time with plenty
of public notice and hearings.

Who knows, in a few years things may change but in the information I
have they go to great lengths to point out that no increases would
occurr as a result of the split, even the case where a call to the next
town (or across the street) would involve 10 digits.

The concept of a local calling area crossing an area code boundary is
nothing new. In many areas near state boundaries, folks can call across
the state line as a local call. Out past West Chester, near the Delaware
state line people have a local calling area that crosses over into
neighboring 302. The Delaware folks have likewise.

Don't be cynical! It takes all the *fun* out of life. 8-)

As we do here in Morrisville, PA.  Calls to Trenton, NJ used to be 7
digits (like a local call) but are now 11 digits: 1-609-xxx-xxxx.  There
still is no toll charge for this call, even though extra digits are
dialed.  This change was made over a year ago and is still in effect.

I know the signs you are on about, I saw a sign lit up saying 50 on the M57
clear conditions I though , clear, sunny, just ignore it.  Wrong!!!!!!! An inch or so of hail stones (night before ), lay in the outside lane on a bend .I gather a car had hit this patch, spun off, no damage, and then reported it to the police.  I can assure you, there was not a hail stone is sight other than this patch. 

I learn't my lesson with no injury to my self or car, but it did frighten me!

==============================================================================
I was travelling on the M6 recently, it was dark, wet and traffic was heavy.
I was in the middle lane, steady 65-70mph when I got tired of the lorries
surrounding me, you know the situation where they overtake on the flat and
then slow right down up hill. Fair enough normally but I had no visibility
due to their spray and felt extremely vulnerable with lorries only feet away.
I took the opportunity to get into the outside lane and picked up speed to
about 80mph. Out of the lorry spray visibility was good and there was a fair
distance to the cars in front. Suddenly a car appeared on my arse, as close
close as it could get. I had no intention of increasing my speed and there
were no gaps in the middle lane I could use. Then I noticed the car behind me
was sporting a blue flashing light, the idiot wanted me to pull over.
It took some time to get over to the hard shoulder as you can imagine. The
police checked my documents and asked how many lanes I thought there were on
a motorway and wanted to know why I hadn't let them past. I was annoyed to
say the least, my response was that I felt that endangering my life by pulling
into a gap I'd have had a job parking in wasn't a risk worth taking to allow
some policeman to get home for his tea. They tried to convince me that I
was expected to allow any car behind me to make progress even regardless of
the fact it is doing a stupid speed.
