Mammoth Times Daily: Friday, October 16, 2009: Don’t forget to add the area code |
|

Friday, 23 October 2009 |
Saturday, Oct. 24, is the day Californians within the 760 area code will have to dial area code in addition to phone number to make a local call. This is occasioned by the new 442 area code being added to the region served by 760.
Since two area codes will serve the same region, customers with a 760 or 442 area code must now dial the area code for all calls – including calls within the same area code.
Beginning Saturday, Oct. 24, 2009, if calls do not use an area code, they will not be completed and a recording will instruct callers to hang up and dial again. The price of a call, coverage area and other rates and services will not change because of this overlay. All local calls will remain local regardless of the number of digits dialed.
Three-digit numbers (911, 611, 411, etc. require no area code).
