First of all..ALOHA!!!... I was also born and raised in the islands!  I think that the phone book should be a good reference on how to dail complete numbers over the telephone and it also depennds on the area of the state that you live on due to the fact that so states have more that 1 area code!\n\nI hope that helps alot!

Use the directory, you can even try online directories. Also for the prices just give them a call to find out!

It really depends what you want from your cell phone service.  To tell you my personal experience, I live on hills in a Los Angeles sub-urban neighborhood and I've used Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile, and Verizon.  Cingular and T-mobile had the worst reception. Calls get disconnected on average once every 20 minutes.  Sprint has weak reception in my neighborhood but has clear calls and few disconnects.  Sprint also have very good customer service.  Verizon Wireless is the most expensive but by far the best in quality, connection, and reliability.\n\nFor students who want fad phones and low priced plans, I would recommend Cingular or T-Mobile.  They also offer the best and trendest phones. Note that the trade-off is connection quality.  I would recommend Verizon for older adults and business people who prefer the reliability.  Hope it helps.  Good luck and have a nice day!

There are a lot of different zip codes in California.  It depends on where in California.

I never use phonebooks now, just search on the web. Suggest if you haven't, get a website now.

Of the three you mentioned, Vonage is still the best.  I tried Sunrocket and had nothing but trouble with it.\n\nPresently I'm using 1Touchtone.com.  Check them out at http://www.1touchtone.com  I've been very satisfied with them.  They are much more likely to have local numbers in small towns than the major players such as Vonage or AT&T, neither of which has local numbers in my area.

Nextel, Too many dropped calls and was not impressed with their customer service.\n\nSprint, the staff are rude and treat you like your 6 yrs old, they talk to you like you have not a brain in your head. \n\n\nVerizon is what I use now and it has been quite impressive, the service is great and I could not ask for a better customer service staff.

Let me start by asking you something.  Is there a directory of call center locations available through a call center/customer service/CRM trade association?  I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised.  Check with your local reference librarian, that's what they do for a living and it's free to you.\n\nTo your question, then, I do know a few random locations of call centers (since you're willing to travel):\n1) Vanguard - outside of Philly\n2) Fidelity - Manchester, NH; northern Kentucky near Cincinnati; Dallas (which you probably know about)\n3) Verizon - Boston area, probably others too\n4) Mellon Bank - Boston area\n\nYou must know, given your specialty, that South Dakota is a huge call center location, with Nebraska and Iowa also well represented.\n\nGood luck!

I've heard talk of a cell phone directory, but people have been resistant to having such a thing published.  The main reason is that people like their privacy and if you publish a directory of cell phone numbers you now have to pay for the airtime on incoming calls.  Land lines are different because the charge falls fully on the calling party.\n\nThus, if you really want this person's cell phone number, you're going to have to ask their permission and get it that way rather than looking for some published cell phone directory.

im unfamilar with japan, however in the us, there is switchboard.com where you can search a phone directory by typing in the last name and the city...what i would do is see if there is an online telephone directory for japan similar to switchboard .com and do the same thing.
