Start Changing Your Dialing Habits Soon
Effective June 23 if you do not dial all 10 digits when making a local call you will hear a recording reminding you of the change and your call will go through.
After Sept. 12 your local call will NOT go through if you have not dialed all 10 digits.
These changes are coming about as it is necessary to add one more area code in BC to accommodate the need for more phone numbers.
Here are some helpful hints to make the transition easier:
- Start making the necessary changes right away.
- Reprogram various communications systems and equipment, including:
- Speed dial lists
- Modems and Internet connections
- Telephones, including call options and functions (e.g. call forwarding)
- Computers and fax machines
- Databases
- Auto-dial systems
- Cellular phones and other wireless devices
- Contact your alarm company to ensure that your security systems are set up for 10-digit dialing.
