New listings for 1991 include Vancouver (230, 268, 739, 822), Richmond (244),
|
|||
|
New Westminster (351), Vernon (558). There seem to be new dialable locations
|
|||
|
opening up: Takla Landing (448), Hartley Bay (841), Kitkatla (848),
|
|||
|
Winter Harbour (969) and Fort Babine (975).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The 200, 201 and 205 were at one point apparently dialable, active
|
|||
|
exchanges. 604 is not formally using the "interchangeable" prefix
|
|||
|
format where exchanges can have 0 or 1 as the middle digit. However,
|
|||
|
the 200, 201 and 205 numbers would terminate in such locations as
|
|||
|
the "Mutual" central office and the "22 exchange" office. These are
|
|||
|
no longer active from the looks of things. However, BC Tel has started
|
|||
|
up business office numbers on an "811" prefix (such as 811.xxxx) which
|
|||
|
is accessible, but seems to be a special hack and not an official
|
|||
|
start of interchangeable prefixes as such. 604 is close to the point
|
|||
|
where something will need to be done to expand prefix capacity, though.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Of note are some exchange names: the "Mutual" office, sometimes referred
|
|||
|
to in recorded error/problem announcments as "Mutual DS4" is the
|
|||
|
big downtown Vancouver exchange. The "Mutual" includes some 66x and 68x
|
|||
|
exchanges, among others; the letters MU of Mutual represent 68, a
|
|||
|
holdover from the days when letters were used for exchange names.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Another popular exchange out in the University of British Columbia area
|
|||
|
is the "22" or "Castle" (CA) exchange.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
363 was listed in one source for Vernon Lake; 363 has now become a
|
|||
|
Victoria number, but 363 might have represented an exchange that was
|
|||
|
used before being discontinued or amalgamated with another service.

Thanks to Dan Fandrich (shad04@ccu.umanitoba.ca), here are other
|
|||
|
items of interest about the Vancouver area:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- 228 prefix (Vancouver) is used for University of British Columbia
|
|||
|
numbers; this may indeed be on their own exchange
|
|||
|
- There is evidence that 280 (Vancouver) is a choke exchange, as the
|
|||
|
common use of this exchange among radio stations, ticket agencies,
|
|||
|
etc. indicates.
|
|||
|
- 291 (Vancouver) is used by Simon Fraser University administration;
|
|||
|
as other businesses, etc. use 291, it is unlikely that SFU has
|
|||
|
exclusive use of 291, but perhaps a block of numbers in that prefix
