My research (I work for a large telecommunications billing company) shows =20=
=20
the number to be located in (on?) St Johns.  We have billed quite a  =20
number of calls terminating at this number for a number of different  =20
carriers and all seem to be reasonably rated, considering the  =20
destination.
