X-Message-Number: 1715 From: Subject: CRYONICS Date: Fri, 5 Feb 93 02:39:27 PST To: CryoNet From: Derek Ryan Re: Correction of area code change posting My facts re the area code change were wrong! Actually, the 909 area code went into effect on Nov. 14, 1992. The 714 area code will continue to work until Aug. 14, 1993, not Nov 93, as previously asserted. After Aug 14, 1993, the 714 code will *not* work. Callers who use 714 will receive a message that it has been changed to 909. However, there is still no need to panic yet. What I failed to mention is that Alcor members in the US whose bracelets/nectags bear the 714 (this is approximately 150-200 members) will receive new ones bearing the *800* number. This will be done before August 14, 1993. AT&T has given us a promise in writing that we *own* the 800 number, so it will be the same no matter where Alcor moves its headquarters (in the US, that is.) The problem still remains for overseas members, in that the 800 number does not work outside of the US and Canada. The relatively low number of overseas members should allow us to handle this without too much difficulty and/or expenditures, however. Above all, Alcor members should rest assured that we *are* aware of this situation, and that we will handle it in a timely fashion. c Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1715
