    I was suggesting you try the worksite solution for calls. Set up
worksites for the two area codes (111 and 222 for example). Make the dialing
prefix for each one the area code. When dialing a 111 area code number use
the 111 worksite and all should be well.
    Things are complicated where I am as some numbers in one of the area
codes are long distance and others are not.
