[VoIP] Numbering - existing use of 311

[Dennis D Hock]

Yes 311 has been designated for non emergency access to ones supposed local
govt unit.  I think the confusion here is in calling 311 a NPA.  I believe
the Notes on the Network indicate that it and all n11 codes are really SAC
and have no real NPA designation.

To add to what John and lee and Stephg and others have said Welcome.  You
don't need to have any old equipment per see, just the thirst and
curiosity.    Thanks to several folks here I am on line and continuing to
rebuild my Step by Step (Strowger) switch a snails pace but there has been
some progress.

This is a great group of people.  They are all willing to share and help
and this is a wonderful safe place to learn and ask questions without fear
of reprisal.

I have to agree with what one of the responders said sign up for an Office
Code and join in.

Take care,

Dennis H.

Actually, 311 is being used  in some places within the NANP.  NYC uses
it for non-emergency calls to municipal agencies to get these calls off
911.  ISTR talk about something similar being proposed for a city in the
SF Bay Area a few years ago, perhaps San Jose.
