re: #227 A Three Hour Tour

I don’t think that you’ll need to dial 1 before the area code unless you’re calling long-distance. We transitioned over to ten-digit dialing a few months back in preparation for 988 service, and I haven’t had to dial 1 before the area code for local calls yet.

What is Ten-Digit Dialing?

A ten-digit dialed telephone call requires entering both the three-digit area code and the seven-digit telephone number to complete the call, even if the area code is the same area code as your own. When an area code transitions to ten-digit dialing, you will no longer be able to dial seven digits to make a local call.

Transitioning to ten-digit dialing will not affect your current telephone number. Your phone number, including your area code, will not change. In California, some parts of Michigan, and in Illinois area code 708, you may be required to dial the number “1” before the area code and seven-digit phone number for local calls.
