dumb question about phone numbers?

Question

are all phone numbers 10 digits? because my friend says they arent all 10 digits in the usa. and was just wondering if shes right. i dont think she is, lol

Answer 1

Residential and businesses have 10 digits, which include the 3 digit area code and the 7 digit telephone number.

In smaller cities, you can dial 7 digits to reach a neighbor.
In Los Angeles, you have to dial 10 digits no matter where you call.

Then, you also have phone numbers like 911, 411 and 311.

Answer 4

There used to be (up until about the early 70s) non-standard procedures for issuing phone numbers. Some rural areas had phone numbers as short as 1 digit, as determined by the local phone company in that area code.

Answer 5

all USA telephone numbers are in this format (000.000-0000).
There is also the state to state exchange that is (1-000-000-0000)
then there is the international exchange numbers like this one for Germany from the USA (011490000000000)
and then there is the emergency numbers as you know (911/ 411)
these numbers are connected to 10 digit numbers as well but the speed dialer is faster so it is just a 3 digit number...
hope that helped... more info go to the local phone Co. and ask there.....
