Next, Frank considers the areas outside the Northeastern. United States to which Primo employees make calls. The salespeople frequently tail the firm’s Canadian distributors. WHIZ is the only company-approved method for these calls. Frank lists the nine Canadian area codes that the salespeople call in the Area Code/Exchange section of Table 5. He enters a 9 for the main pool in the Pool Number section and the WHIZ access and account codes, with the required pauses, in the Other Digits section.

Table 5 looks like this:

Frank has now set up tables to route long distance calls within New Jersey, to other Northeastern states, and to Canada. The company’s cross-country WATS line pool is the least expensive method for all other long distance calls his co-workers have to make. So he wants the system to route 10- or 11-digit calls toall area codes that aren’t included in other tables to the pools listed in Table 8, the Default Toll Table.

Frank’s first entry in the Pool Number section of Table 8 is 895, the cross-country WATS line pool. The second least expensive method for these calls is WHIZ. Frank records this as his second choice by entering a 9 for the main pool in the Pool Number sec- tion and entering the required access code and account code digits and pauses in the corresponding Other Digits section.

The Default Toll Table looks like this:
