Well that depends.....is the zero standing for itself?
or is it standing for "10"  Since zero usually denotes
nothing, there cannot be a "nothing" call area.  where
it has been noted that we have the tenth call
area..therefore my guess is that zero is sitting in
for the number "10"...so in that sense, the zero comes
after nine in counting.  Just my convoluted,
smart-a&#$@, logic at the waking up time of the brain.
 I get a bit impatient sometimes waiting for the "9's"
to be called myself.  it seems that they usually pass
over the zero, nine, and eight fairly rapidly...and
dwell on the 6's, 4's, and 5's a lot.
