Man, all this planning ahead from supply chain stuff and seasonal stuff is making my head spin.

Plus, these fees are nuts. Booked a room at the Burnham in the loop. This is a wife and kid trip in December. Christkindle Market and Polar Express here we come.

Wait, what???

I thought we always had to dial all ten digits, like for every phone call… always. (Discounting before phones became all the rage)

Nope.
7 digits for local
10 for long

Nope. Certain cities in close proximity didn't need the 219 dialed. Believe it's mainly land lines.

I actually like it this way since I have to make calls to customers. Simplifies it for me. I hated getting the "your call can't be completed as dialed" message, then have to redial and either add or remove the 219

Just another wet Monday morning.

With number portability, I have some customers local customers with out of state area codes.

I have all numbers in my phone with area codes.

I've dialed everything long distance for close to 20 years now. Even on landlines. It's easier when moving constantly and trying to remember what's local and what's long distance.

My sisters live in Communist occupied New Jersey.

Their atea code has changed twice in the last 20 years.

I suggested to the FCC 20 years ago that if they just add 1 number to the exchange they would add 10 times the possible numbers. Stupid Idea, I know.

That's strange because if I dial a 219 and it's not necessary, I get the "your call can't be completed as dialed" message on the land lines at the shop.

As far as cell phone, I do have the 219 in all my saved contacts and that works just fine.

Boomers still tryna figure out dialing phones. My God.

We don't need help dialing our phones.

We just can't remember where we left our phones.

There was actually life before cell phones. We didn't have to dial the area code for local numbers, but we had to dial a 1 in front of it if it was more than one town away. Dialing from Crown Point to Gary, Hammond, Hobart, Lowell, used to be long distance and we had to pay an extra $0.10/min on our landline bill.

Before my employer installed our current phone system, we would have to call in a phone company technician to hard code new area codes into the old system whenever we needed to call a newly created area code.

I remember not that long ago when some cell phone customers would fret about receiving a wrong number because it would cost them money.
