Nah, we don't have that. We have variable length numbers, but it's a
strict prefix code. You ain't going to get some different phone to
ring just because you shorten the number, it's either a failed call or
the same end point.

Several commentaries were in the newspaper with that point of view,
and opposed to the law.

One letter to the editor complained that the state legis. ought to
worry more about reckless teen drivers than sexting.

Hmmmm ... This reminds me of a situation in the same general
area.
The community known as Primm, NV, is right on the state line
between Nevada and California. The Nevada side has three
casinos and a shopping mall.
IIRC, Primm is served from the Jean, NV CO, a few miles up
the highway.
There is, however, a small bodega or convenience store just
a few feet across the California line, whose main business
is selling California Lottery tickets. I'm sure this place
has wireline phone service. IIRC it's only reachable, road
wise, from Nevada and there's no civilization of anything
meaningful on the California side for miles, except for
ranches and such.
I'm curious if they have a Nevada phone number, or if some
kind of arrangements have been made for a California number.
Next time I'm in the area I'll stop in and see if I can
find out.

The National Military Training Center at Fort Irwin is located just a
few miles up the road in California, there are also a few businesses
located off the highway you can't see from 15. I seem to remember
seeing some a remote hut near the Caltrans service site, it could be a
telephone remote or an old AT&T site, but it is clearly telecom.
