10-Digit Dialing Will Soon Be Required From Locals Calls In Parts Of Hudson Valley, Long Island

Read / Add Comments Get ready to re-program your phone as 10-digit dialing is soon coming to parts of the Hudson Valley and Long Island. The change, which begins Saturday, April 24, was announced by The Federal Communications Commission in this month s phone bills. The reason behind the change is the FCC has adopted 988 as a new three-digit number to be used nationwide to reach the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline starting Friday, July 16. But in order for the 988 to work, 10-digit dialing must first be implemented, the FCC said. If callers forget and just dial seven numbers, the calls will still go through until Sunday, Oct. 24. After that date, all 10 digits, including the area code, and then the phone number will need to be dialed for the call to be completed.

Area Code Needed For Local Calls Starting April 24

Area Code Needed For Local Calls Starting April 24 The days of just using 7 numbers for local calls are going away. As more and more numbers are added to the telephone system, we need to change from seven to 10 numbers to make a call - even for local calls. As of April 24, in the state of Montana, all local calls need to include the area code. One of the reasons, according to the Federal Communications Commission, is the new 988 three-digit number being instituted in July for the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. Currently, that number is 1-800-273-TALK. If you leave out the Montana 406 area code after April 24th, a recording will come on telling you the call can not be completed and to please add the area code. You hang up and call again.
