Here's a question for the mobile phone weenies: does the phone rewrite
the number you dial before it sends it to the switch, or does it just
send what you enter and the switch figures it out?

Since a mobile phone sends the whole number in a block, there's no
ambiguity between 7 and 10 digit numbers, and the leading 1 on 1+10
doesn't tell it anything useful.

Around here, seven digit dialing on mobile phones still works (we have
no overlays and no splits coming any time soon) but I assumed it was
the switch knowing what to do, not the phone stuffing in an area code.
