 KW>  More phone trivia, area codes were designed so that the most
 KW> populous  areas had the lowest numbers, because they were dialed on a
 KW> rotary  phone and would be dialed more often. Compare New York (212),
 KW> Los  Angeles (213), Hawaii (808) and Alaska (907).

More interesting phone trvia:

Alexander Graham Bell died at his summer home in Nova Scotia on August 2, 
1922. Two days later all telephone service in the United States and Canada 
was suspended for a full minute at the precise moment when Bell was lowered 
into his grave. 60,000 telephone operators stood silently at attention and 
did not connect any new calls as the continent's 13 million telephones went 
quiet.
