In the example of this telephone number (000) 123-4567.
The 000 is the area code. In Canadian provinces such as saskatchewan there is 1 area code for that province (or state in american) which is (306), or in alberta the next province there are two area codes, 403 and 780.
But I want help analysing the rest of a telephone number. Seeing as how i am from alberta i will use the area code (403). The rest of a number is 7 digits. What are the first 3 digits called? Because i live in medicine hat, and some of the numbers in medicine hat are 488-???? or 580-???? or 928-???? under the 403 area code. But if i loo kat a different city near by or within a few hours away with the same area code (403), the first 3 digits in that city might be 253-???? or 673-???? as examples. So to me the 7 digit telephone number is not unique to each person. Only the last 4 are unique because of my example above thousands of people within the same city may share the first 3 digits of the telephone number.
