Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / June 2004No More dialing Area Code when claling local
Hello, Have anyone tried this? You dont have to dial are code when calling local through T-Mobile. I guess this is a Beta thingy or maybe even regional but no word from T-Mobile about it yet. EZ COMM I never have dialed an area code when dialing local. Really depends on the local exchanges. Los Angeles decided that everyone must dial an area code no matter what, as part of them not wanting to do overlays. Makes it simpler on the switch side of the house. Really depends on the area you are in. Scotty > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > EZ COMM >Have anyone tried this? You dont have to dial are code when calling local >through T-Mobile.

I've always been able to dial local numbers four different ways. 7D, 10D, 1+10D or +1/AC/7D e.g. 555-2368 or 311-555-2368, 1-311-555-2368 or +1 311 555 2368. I've had service with VoiceStream/T-Mobile for 4 years. I believe the only places where you cannot dial 7D are places that have mandatory inclusion of the area code when calling a number such as in overlay areas. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NONO from .NONOcom to reply Here in Central NJ (732 area code) inclusion of 1-(AC) is a must.

Do you have an overlay over a previous area code in the same area? If that's the case then I covered that in my reply! >Kenny > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >> remove NONO from .NONOcom to reply - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NONO from .NONOcom to reply Yes, but it was not a requirement in NJ until around a year ago. This holds true for any phone, wired or wireless.

Here in Lafayette, LA, with a local T-Mobile number you don't have to dial the area code. If you are in Dallas, there are 3 area codes and 10 digit dialing is mandatory. I recommend that you enter all phone book entries with 10 digits as when you travel you WILL have to put the area code in. -- John S. e-mail responses to - john at kiana dot net > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > EZ COMM This has always been location dependent for us. If we are in the area of our phone's area code, it works. If we are out of the area, we must dial the area code before the number. It has been like this since we started in Oct 2000. I remember back in the days when T-Mobile only covered O'Hare in Chicago, and dialing a St. Paul number without the area code did not work. So maybe this is a vestige from Aerial? >This has always been location dependent for us. If we are in the area >of our phone's area code, it works.

If I dial a 7 digit number even out of my local area and 7 digit dialing is still permitted in the area where I am located I'll reach the 7 digit number in my *home* area. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - remove NONO from .NONOcom to reply 10/11 digit dialing is becomin more and more required in more and more places... This is not T-Mobile, this is an FCC mandate due to ares code overlay and congestion, and as one previously stated, to make it easier to siwthc calls... It is being switched area by area nationwide... Within a period of time, it will be basically nationwide... There is even talk fo the switching system going to a form of 12 digit dialing to switch more numbers... If you need to dail 10/11 digits, it doesnt make it long distance to or from a landline, unless it would be toll in first place... The idea of programming the numbers as 11 digit in phoneook is great.. go one step further if you travle and use phone internationally... add the +1 NPA-Nxx format and you can dial anywhere with out having to add anything and dialing manuallly... in US + is ignored.. just like 1+NPA format for local dialing is if not "required" > > Hello, > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > without the area code did not work. So maybe this is a vestige from > Aerial? I have been on T-Mobile for over a year and a half, and never had to dial the area code for a number within my area code. Just as with my landline phone, for a number within my area code you just dial the 7 digit number. Same thing if my actual physical location is outside of my area code, since the phone is numbered to that area code, I don't dial an area code for numbers within my home area code, I do have to dial the area code for a number with a different area code. I certainly don't think it's a "Beta thingie". I guess there is "no word from T-Mobile about it" because it's completely normal. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > EZ COMM |
