A question for D.C. residents:
have you ever seen 'WSHNGTNZN1' on your phone bill, and if so, what does it signify? (yes, I'm snooping through the DC Madam's records)

Thanks,

Ghost

1. Dialing Code. Isn't it another way of representing a 3-number prefix?
Edited on Tue Jul-10-07 04:04 AM by Hissyspit
or is it a grouping of prefixes? I think it's a grouping of prefixes that fit into a zone. I'm not TOO sure that will be much help, since it could be any number of prefixes.

3. DC proper
From googling it looks like zone 1 is DC (all 202 area codes), whereas WSHNGTHZN2 and others are for outlying metro regions.

4. Thanks for the replies and the help!
I just thought it was strange that all the others just showed up as 'Washington' and this one was different.

Back to the search!
