In accordance with a national order by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Chariton Valley will transition from seven- to 10-digit dialing for local calls.
The order, approved in July 2020, establishes 988 as the three-digit number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL). As a result, 84 area codes nationwide that currently use this prefix and seven-digit local dialing will transition to 10-digit dialing when calling local numbers.
To facilitate implementation, all Chariton Valley wireless and landline customers will dial 10 digits when making local calls.
Although not mandatory until November 1, 2021, the company encourages customers to be using this dialing practice immediately to become acclimated to the process, and to reset seven-digit preset local numbers to 10 digits.
