Curiosity poll #2. Local telephone calls.

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.

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)
