Not really ANY area code.
That was mostly a Western US thing.
In the Mid Atlantic US, C&P, later Bell Atlantic, later VeriZon, it was 
TI-4-2525.
There was NO standard throughout the Bell System, and often not even 
offered by independents, though some time and weather along with a short 
commercial were sponsored by banks and such, often recorded on an 
Audichron system.
