Phone calls, starting 24 April

Within 36 states, we will need to dial area codes (and the +1 prefix) along with the 7-digit numbers. Not all codes within each of these states will be required. Nevada for example, has 3 area codes; only the 775 region is within this requirement.

I got card in the mail about this, and it looks complicated. The FCC is making changes. No explanation why this does not apply to the entire country. Nebraska and North Dakota for examples, are not included. South Dakota is.

There is a grace period until 24 Oct. 7-digit calls until then will still be connected (but maybe with a reminder message triggered). After this date, area code attachments will be mandatory.
