35 states will now require area codes when making local telephone calls
Fox News
Callers in 35 states and one U.S. territory will transition to 10-digit dialing starting on Sunday in order to prepare for an easier way across the country to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
"To prepare for implementation of a quick way to dial the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – using only ‘988’ to connect callers to the Lifeline – these area codes must transition to ten-digit dialing for all calls, including local calls," the FCC said on its website.
That means callers in 82 area codes will need to dial the recipient’s area code first before adding their usual phone number. After Oct. 22, local calls made with just seven digits may not connect. Ten digit dialing has been available in those area codes since April 2020 but until Sunday seven-digit calls are still connected.
