- activity detected for unknown reason - may not be a valid prefix (T-PT) - reserved for phone testing (950S) - reserved for alternate long distance services Notes on area 807 December 1994 update: only a few new exchanges, generally for Thunder Bay plus a new one in Dryden (221). Rainy River has local dialing across the border into Baudette, Minnesota. Unfortunately, there are no 807 that have local dialing across into Manitoba. March 1991 - October 1992, no new prefixes could be found in service. It has been almost a year from the April 1990 to the March 1991 list; the only new adds on here are for 467 Kenora, plus some assigned test exchanges that were recently determined. 480 seems to be a mystery, whether it is a forthcoming prefix, or if it represented some kind of switch misprogramming, or some kind of testing. 878 Hillsport is an add for Apr 1990. 626 and 768 are new Thunder Bay entries as of 20 April '90. Cat Lake (347) is a new entry since the 30 Dec '89 list. Deer Lake, Kashabowie, Kingfisher Lake exchange numbers are listed, but there is no direct dial access to or from these exchanges according to the most recent information found. This may have changed, however. The wrong way: The Thunder Bay telephone directory carries a small blurb each year to the effect that leaving your phone off the hook will alert burglars that you are not home, because "a continual signal is a give-away". The problem with that logic is that a phone ringing unanswered is even more of a "give-away" that someone is not home. Perhaps the better message to give (and probably the real reason for discouraging people from leaving their phones off the hook) is that it can tie up telephone company equipment, especially for some types of central office switches, and thus prevent someone else from using the phone.
