Ah yes, I remember the days when you just knew a number starting with 4 was Edmonton, 2 was Calgary, 8 was usually various small towns. I don't remember being able to omit the 2 at the front of numbers though I was alive at the time. My Mom has lived in the same house since it was built 31 years ago, and still has the same phone number with the 'stereotypical' prefix for the area. We got our phone 4 years ago or so ... and it starts with a 2. Lucky ... none of these stupid new-fangled sets of digits.
