re: #282 Sherlock Hound
I have NEVER seen four-digit dialing. Never ever. And I still remember my mom’s old phone number from 1969. Seven digits.
You have to live in a town with only one central office.
We have four digit dialing here. When I was a teen and we switched from the co-op phone company to GTE, we had four digit dialing there (they still have it now).
