Yup, it's true - I know so cos I'm in Canada :-) (and coming from the UK,
don't even get me started on the state of the North American phone system -
we see enough flame wars and off topic threads on here already!)

Yeah, the USA, Canada and a bunch of Caribbean places are covered by NANPA,
the North American Numbering Plan.

I think I'm only interested as far as area code, I'm not too fussed about
whether it's a mobile number or not, although I guess it's more of an issue
for dialling other destinations where calling a mobile is charged at a
premium. For example, call  a UK land line and you know it's +44 1xxx or +44
2xxx with all mobiles starting +44 7xxx. Calling UK mobiles from North
America typically costs more than calling a land line.. reciprocal
compensation etc kicks in.. Not so the other way round though - people back
home can call me on my landline or my mobile for the same "Calling North
America" rate across the board.

Gotcha.. so stick with the text area editing a text .conf file thing then -
sounds cool.. then have a link off to the CDR bit etc?

Exciting ideas.. enthusiasm abounds.. now lets see what we can come up with
:-)
