ISP Glossary:
RFC - I have a mother in Florida living on a fixed income and it would help her alot to be able to call me when she needs to. After getting set up and generating a virtual number, mom in Florida at the same area code could not make a non-toll call. I called Vonage customer no care and they said the prefix generated was not in her calling region ... sorry.When you get a Vonage number, you can specify the exact rate centerwhere you want the number. For example, if you pick 954, then you canpick Coral Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, or Pompano Beach. Itis not exactly a state secret that local calling areas have nothing todo with area code boundaries, but are a list of rate centers.I got a virtual number last week so my sister in Vermont could call meas a local call, and it took about 10 seconds to look through the listof Vermont rate centers to find one local to her.If you and your mother can't figure out what's a local call for her,visit http://members.dandy.net/~czg/search.html which has an extensivedata base of local calling area information.Regards,John Levine johnl@iecc.com Primary Perpetrator of The Internet for DummiesInformation Superhighwayman wanna-be, http://iecc.com/johnl,Sewer Commissioner"I dropped the toothpaste", said Tom, crestfallenly.
