814 Area Code Dialing Begins April 3

 


Mandatory 10-digit dialing for all telephone calls in the current 814 area code begins Saturday, April 3. If you forget and try to make a call using only seven digits, you'll get a recording asking you to hang up and to make the call again using the phone number plus area code. 

 This is in preparation for the arrival of a new “overlay” area code – 582 – which will eventually serve side-by-side with the current 814 area code. The 582 area code will be assigned to new telephone numbers once the available supply of numbers in the current 814 area code is exhausted.

 Devices that should be checked to verify they are configured for 10-digit dialing, include: 

👉 Mobile phones, landline phones & tablets and fax machines that can save/store phone numbers.
 ðŸ‘‰ Life-safety & medical alert systems. 
👉 Alarm/security systems and security gates.
 ðŸ‘‰ Call-forwarding settings & voicemail services. 
👉 Internet dial-up systems. 
👉 Automatic dialing equipment & software.
 ðŸ‘‰ Speed-dialers.
 ðŸ‘‰ Any other device that can save, store and automatically dial phone numbers.
