I'm deleting the stuff about Office Depot, Radio $hack and Walgreen's, since it all appears to be O.R. If someone doesn't think so, and can actually provide verifiable references (sorry, "Radioshack Operations Manual" isn't verifiable to the general public) then go ahead and revert it.

Wow... this... doesn't make any sense to me (a googling non-telcom person) at all.

Could someone write the "700 numbers for dummies" version and add it to this article? TIA.

I agree. The first sentence -- "North American area code 700 of the North American Numbering Plan was introduced in 1983 to allow for presubscribing phone numbers to particular interexchange carriers." -- sounds very awkward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.101.44.146 (talk) 18:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

700 is an area code. A non technical end user may wish to understand why their office phone numbers begin with area code 700. Offering this additional paragrah regaring the use within VOIP networks will be helpful to non technical users.

Furthermore, some ITSPs within North America are encouraging the use of this area code for private dial plans that are administered or blended with the ITSP network. NANP documents including SR83/10-076 (the original planning letter) recognized the need for software defined services within the 700 area code. While the common use for the NPA was long distance carrier identification, several other services were envisioned within the area code. More than 30 years later, the area code is seeing increased used within blended VOIP dial plans - exactly as the planning letter indicated more than 30 years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Techiehead (talk • contribs) 05:48, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

AT&T Alliance Teleconferencing

In the early to middle 1990s, AT&T offered a multiparty conference bridge service to its subscribers using a 700 number. I no longer recall the number (I assume it's long since decommissioned) but I do recall using it once. 207.180.169.36 (talk) 23:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
