Curiosity poll #2. Local telephone calls.

**BitsyNaceyDog** · 08-26-2006, 08:15 PM

We've had to dial the area code for local numbers for the past 10 years. I can hardly remember not having to.

**Roxyluvsme13** · 08-26-2006, 08:28 PM

Just the phone number, but it works either way.

**RedHedd** · 08-26-2006, 11:21 PM

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!

**smokey the elder** · 08-27-2006, 07:25 AM

Land line: just the 7 digit number.

My cell phone: area code and number (I don't need to dial "1"), though.

**GreyhoundGirl** · 08-27-2006, 07:57 AM

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.

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)

**.sarah** · 08-27-2006, 10:42 AM

Oh yes, we have been doing this for quite a while now!! There are just SOOOOOOO many telephones in my area (land lines/cell phones/2nd lines in the same home....etc) that we needed MORE numbers. 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)

**trayi52** · 08-27-2006, 10:56 AM

Just the seven digit number here.

1-(area code) ###-####

**DJFyrewolf36** · 08-27-2006, 06:29 PM

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.

**wolf_Q** · 08-27-2006, 06:31 PM

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.
