[Nfbf-l] Area codes not to answer! very costly!

Sat Mar 27 22:17:31 UTC 2010

Mark, I thought the email stated it, but I guess not! The 809 area code is 
for the Dominickan Republic! From their it goes out to other Countries such 
as Trinidad, ETC. and that is also where the high costs are accumulated for 
anyone that has the misfortune of answering or calling back these numbers! I 
hope you are doing well and all is going  well in Stuart my friend! You 
should link with me  off line  sometime and chat! Your friend in the cause, 
Kirk

I don't know about these other area codes, but I am quite sure 809 is for
countries like Trinidad in the West Indies.
