On September 23rd, several new telephone numbers were implemented at Jefferson Lab . The lab-wide prefix was changed from 249 to 269 and staff with an extension beginning with 4 or 8 were switched to extensions beginning with 5, 6, or 7. This brings the lab under one prefix instead of the two previously being used (249 and 884). The change is a result of a shortage of telephone numbers across the entire nation. The popularity of cellular phones and fax machines caused Bell Atlantic to run out of telephone numbers. The Director's Council decided to bring the lab under one prefix and to lease 3,000 new telephone numbers from Bell Atlantic. These numbers will cover the telephone systems in the new ARC building, the new FEL building and the Accelerator Tech Support building. On July 1, 1996 the area code for the Peninsula and Tidewater was changed
from 804 to 757. This change and the new Jefferson Lab phone numbers are on
recordings that outside callers hear when they dial incorrectly. These
recordings will be effective until November 1, 1996. For more information,
