ALL OTHER FORMER 214 EXCHANGE PREFIXES REMAIN IN THE 214 AREA CODE. 
 
Permissive dialing period begins September 14, 1996. 
Permissive dialing period ends March 14, 1997. 

NOTE (as of 10/1/96):
The following NNXs will be duplicated in the 214 and 972 NPA areas,
starting at the beginning of permissive dialing, so they may not have
any effective permissive dialing period.  These exchanges are NOT
changing their area codes; the NXX codes are just being assigned in
the new area code before they logically should be.
