>>>Interesting. I'm always suprised at what people will fall for. Personaly, I dont see how someone could be so lame as not to realize there were dialing outside the USA if they were dialing a phone number that's like 15 digits long...

>I see that now that I'm looking at my area-code chart. Why are these places using the USA country codes though? If I ever accidently dialed a Barbados phone number only to find I was getting nailed for a huge $ amount on my phone bill when I never dialed another a country code, they would be hard-pressed to get any $ out of me.
I sometimes have to call Nevis (St. Kitts) in Caribbean where their number is just like any USA. E.g. (869)469-####. I also wonder how they managed to get the numbers that looks just like any USA number.
