Hey there,
Let me start by telling you that I work for a national company and part of my job is to telephone buisnesses in my city and the surrounding towns. For the most part, it's pretty easy, although there are two seperate issues that I'm having to deal with when it comes to Telephone numbers, specifically Area Codes.
Question #1, WHY do I have to dial the area code for a telephone number THAT'S IN THE SAME AREA CODE AS ME??!?!?!?! This makes no sense. I'm 309, they are 309, why do I have to dial it at all?
Question #2, and this is the one that really makes me mad. Why will the phone company not process a call when I use the area code for a local call? Sometimes when I use an area code, I get a recording that says "We're sorry, but it is not necessary to use the area code with this number." OK, Big Deal, it's not necessary, why can't you just process the call, instead of making me hang up and dial again?
I think the phone company is trying to make me mad.
