Actually, I would imagine it'd be a lot more direct than that: Phone Sales Rep: "Thank you for your order. Now, as part of the registration procedure, we need to find out what area code you would like to route 911 call to." Customer: "612, please" Phone Sales Rep: "Thank you. Your records will be updated on our system immediately."
