Question

Asked 12/3/2011

Do we still have to dial 1?

With more communities in the US going to 10-digit dialing, is it still necessary to put a "1" in front of a toll number? Can you even recognize "long distance" any more? My own state had two area codes when I moved here twenty-some years ago, next year we'll be at eight.

Answer 1/2 - Submitted 12/3/2011

These days I have no idea whether I'll have to dial the 1 or not. I do know I have to use it in front of a toll-free number. Things are changing so fast. Some of my friends and family who live out of state I can call using only 7 digits, while others living right down the road require all 11 digits

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 1/28/2012

I have noticed that smart cell phones seem to intuitively add the 1 to the any domestic long distance numbers I put in.
I believe it has something to do with FCC category changes and upgrades, todays system networks will typically prepend the number 1 for you.
