So how would they pronounce 201-200-0000?
...
Yes, that's a valid number. It's a fax in the Criminal Justice
> Department at New Jersey City University.
The other cool thing about that number is that it is of course the lowest (generally-dialable) phone number in the entire world!
Fully qualified, it is +1 201 200 0000. Unless the ITU ever introduces country codes beginning with 0, or the NANPA ever puts area code 200 into service, this number will stay the lowest in the world.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: There _is_ an 'area code 200', or more precisely it is a special service code. 1-200-highly secretive seven digits does a 'ring back' to the calling number. The seven digits following 1-200 differ from one central office to the next, and within that CO, they tend to change the number every two or three months, mainly because outside plant technicians used to get bribed a lot (maybe still) by phone phreaks looking for the number. You can try 1-200-your own number and if a tone signal is returned, then hang up. If your phone rings back at you, then you win, if not, then you lose. _That_ (200 plus own number) used to work in Chicago when they first did away with 571-6, but I dunno any longer. PAT]
