>>>Found one! I went to "GO PHONES" and you can search from there. There are four numbers and the nearest is Huntington Beach (714) 577-0411.

>>Be sure it's local though before you use it, they can tell you at the hotel front desk when you check in. Some of us (not me) found out the hard way at DevCon that just because Palm Springs was the next town over from La Quinta, didn't mean it was a local call. Nancy can tell you all about that!! < g > Anyway, like I said, the 800 number is always available and if Huntington Beach is not a local call, I'd definitely use the 800 number if I were you!!!

Area codes are not for locality, but more for region. Well, at least they used to be that way. We've had to add so many new area codes recently (explosion of cell phones, faxes, etc), that they just don't have the same meaning anymore. In some places you can make local calls between "area codes" and in other places it's a long distance call within the same "area code". Your best bet would be to ask, or check the phone book for the local exchanges from your location. The exchange is the 3 digits after the area code.
