In our area we have been dialing ALL 10 numbers for local calls. (area code + 7 digit number). Whereas it udes to be only the 7 digit number for local calls and only the area cod if OUT of your area. But what I do not know is if EVERYONE across the country needs to do that.
SO....How do you dial a LOCAL telephone number??
My part of PA......area code+number (10 digits)
just the number............. unless its a cell phone then its whereever you are 044+area code+number...........
Just the number.
I have a habit at dialing the area code and then the seven-digit number so for me the second. I have to dial the area code or i will feel uncomfortable dialing it.
We have to dial the area code and the number. :)
Just the phone number. No area code. :)
1-area code-exchange-number.
Just the number. Except most cell phones you have to dial the area code then the number.
i tend to dial the area code too..just a habit
Just the number here :)
Both area code and number here. :p
WOW! You have to dial a #1 for a LOCAL call? interesting.Quote:

If it's on my cell (sprint service), just the number.
If it's on my mom/dad/sis's cell (altel service), it depends; we are 5 min from the texas border and sometimes -even when dialing a local number- they'll pick up a texas tower and get the wrong person.
(I voted just the number.)
area code and 7 digit number here
We've had to dial the area code for local numbers for the past 10 years. I can hardly remember not having to.
Just the phone number, but it works either way.
Just the number on land lines - cell phones work with or without the area code for local numbers.
Portland Oregon metro area - its all ten digits. New numbers get a new area code - its kind of cute, you can always tell older business signs because they only show 7 numbers instead of 10.
Area code+ phone number : 10 digits!
Land line: just the 7 digit number.
My cell phone: area code and number (I don't need to dial "1"), though.
Recentally it changed to area code also. Which is a real pain because I always forget. I look up a phone # in the phone book, dial the number and close the phone book. But wait ! I forget the area code, so I've gotta look up the # all over again. :rolleyes:
If you want to call into town, you have to dial 1 first.
I voted Just the phone number, but I actually ment to vote area code and phone number (a 1 digit area code and a 7 digit number)
just the number, I have never heard of typing the area code for a local call lol
We just type the local number :)
Me neither!Quote:

So a second area code now overlaps our original one. 610 and 484 telephone numbers for my area. So 610-123-4567 could live right next door to 484-123-4567. (LOL)Quote:

Here, you don't have to dail the area code unless you're dailing outside of a cirtian area...as some numbers are concidered "long distance" even though they have the same area code.
If it's local, no area code is required. Like DJFyrewolf said, some places within the same area code are considered long distance though so it is required then.
As of a few years ago, we have to dial the area code for local numbers too. And they changed a bunch of the Ohio area codes, I'm still trying to get used to that.
Just the # here in CA
The town my sister lived in requires only 5 digits be dialed for a call in the same town.... FOr example....if her number was 364-0288 and you were calling from the same town you only need to dial 4-0288!
It is a VERY small town. :D :rolleyes:
(And have you noticed...some call it "typing" a number and some call it "dialing" a number. :D :D )
Area code = 2 digits, no. = 6 digits. All over Denmark. :) Copenhagen used to be 01, but it has now changed to all kinds of two digit numbers - however, you cn usuall tell which area in Copenhagen a no. belongs to.
What I think is irritating, is that the Alarm no. has changed from 000 to 112.
In Denver, we have to dial the area code + the number for local calls. In Iowa, you just needed the last 7 digits.
