Re: Area Code Required in city

@tototwo   We have had to dial the area code for a local call in New Jersey for approximately 20 years.

We've been doing this for many many years in Texas they said they had to because numbers reached capacity in some areas so the area code had to be added to distinquish the location.....

We have needed to do this in Philadelphia for at least 20 years, maybe more.

I'm in NY right over the Jersey border and we just started having to do this a few months ago.

I can’t tell you the last time I only dialed 7 digits.

Yes here since 1995 when they assigned us a new area code. You will get used to it. I now find 7 digit dialing odd

I live in Metro Atlanta. We have had to do this for years now.  So many years that I don't remember how many.

 

Edited..... I just looked it up.  We've been using the full number since 1998.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
