New Rules for 760 Area Code

New 760 area code dialing changes.

As of May 2nd, new area code rules for the 760 began to take effect. All local and long distance calls will require the use of "1' + ten-digit number in order to place calls.

Current 760 area code users of both cellular and landlines will retain their current 760 area code. New phone orders will be given the new 442 area code.

The transaction period will only last until October 24, 2009. On that date, the full number will be required.

The 10 digit dialing required a user to dial "1" plus the area code and phone number to place a call.

Suggestions:
  1. Start updating your contact information with security and alarm companies.
  2. Re-program speed dial, auto dial, modems and other telephone equipment with your 10-digit number.
  3. Update the contact information of friends, family, neighbors, family doctor, etc.
  4. Start providing your area code when you give out your phone number.
  5. Inform family and friends of the need to dial 10 digits.
The ability to dial 911 or 411 will not be affected.
