Is B.C. Getting Crowded ? ?

You will dial all 10 Numbers even for local calls.

If you live anywhere in British Columbia, that means Nanaimo, you will have to remember three more numbers to place a telephone call by Sept. 2008.
Due to an ever growing population and an ever increasing demand for cell phones as well as residential phones, B.C. will be getting a new area code by Sept. '08.
You will be required to dial all 10 numbers when making local phone call, not just long distance. This system already exists in large cities such as Vancouver and Toronto.
I think the rest of the world has discovered B.C., and the secret about Nanaimo is definitely out!
