Here's why NYC got 212 area code and San Francisco got 415

Their illustration of a rotary dial phone has * and # on it!<p>They also don't realize that 411 and 911 were originally 114 and 119 and were changed when long distance direct dialing was introduced and 1 became the code to introduce it.

Only recently (relatively) has Nevada gone from a state-wide code of 702 to 702 and 775.<p>Additionally - by the last paragraph, why then would San Jose have a 408 - if by their facts only states with a single area code for the state had 0 as the second digit?
