Just accept you're not a 'hollerback girl' anymore.yes, im american btw
i do understand, and i guess it is as simple as theyve ran out of 212 numbers...we're a bit thick.
thanks!!!
thanks D...crisis averted...its on now
well im glad i didnt cause you make it sound bad
(lower manhattan)
(i missed a flight over this stupid area code...well i overslept really, and got all confused, but it was still chaos and havoc riddled, bit dramatic no?...
...)It's actually a bit of a bullshit status thing. 212 and 917 are 'old school' or whatever and thus presumed to be more 'authentically' NY by some people.
Don't miss flights over area codes. Definitely not worth it.
well i really overslept...
missed flights
stupid fights
busted lights
all over a stupid area code.
oh jesus are you still goin' on about this knut? i thought i explained this to you already
but D is from NYC and i DID ask after her in particular in my OP
...ok, i'll stop now.

That makes me feel old - the 917 codes have only been around since '92 and I remember the rows when they came in!
Not to mention the hassle my family had when my great aunt in Long Island City forgot to tell overseas relatives about the code change to 718 for Brooklyn and Queens way back in '85.
Anyway, in the current "Mad Men" led craze for 60s American Retro, it has to be a 212 code to go with your classic dial-up phone.

Yeah, but 917 was the original cellphone area code for NYC. Now there's 646 and 347 too. 917 as an area code for landlines is pretty rare.
