Surely this has been asked and answered but I'm not finding it. I just want to get a list of exchanges that are local to ours (765-497) so that I can set up Asterisk to recognize those numbers and permit
7-digit dialing of them. (I tried requiring a prefix. That didn't go over well with my wife.)Is there somewhere online where such lists are maintained?
Thank you.

The first thing that comes to mind is your phone book. Ours has them listed in the front of the book.
Lafayette, In? Verizon? Check the web pages.
SBC provides this one for my area:
This one is my favorite:
That is an information-filled site. I wonder where the "Local Prefixes" comes from. That was a secret for some ILECs, simply mileage based for others.
That URL's a scam to sell tool plans; it bombs on local calls....
It's a PITA to find out what is local; in MD you can get a prefix list but it's like pulling teeth.
That does not detail what the local calling area is!

Thats funny, it sure did for every prefix I tried.
Maybe so, but I was able to expand the link. Try

Oops. Veriworthless <tm>.
If the link works, it's filled with bogus data. It's the "Local calling area", but some of the number "may be" toll.
Go figure.

Yup! I finally stumbled on to that today. It's going to take some scraping but I think that'll work. (What is it that makes these phone companies go to such great lengths to do stupid stuff with JavaScript for every freakin' app like this?)
I was hoping to find something universal that I could recommend to others. There's no master database of all of this stuff online (and free)? Oh, well.
Thank you for the help.

Well, I have the two that I use for Ohio and Michigan

It did accurate lists for the three or four that I tired in SBC territory, but that's pretty easy to do in California. Almost all of the local calling areas are a 12 mile radius from the V&H coordinates of the rate center. A few are 16 miles.
Nice link, thanks!
