TWX / Telex II  had it's own semi-geographic area codes:  510, 710, 810, 
and 910, with 610 being Canada.

The North American TWX area codes (510, 710, 810, 910) were 
decommissioned in 1981, with 510, 610, 810 and 910 being recovered for 
re-use in the NANP.

710 was claimed by the Federal Government for GETS service (a whole area 
code reserved for a single phone number)
