New Phone Dialing Rules

In December 2009 there will be 2 new area codes available in Connecticut, 959 and 475.  With the addition of these 2 new area codes we will now need to dial 10 digits for all local calls made in Connecticut.

10 digit dialing for local calls will become effective on 11/14/09 here in Connecticut.  Most other areas of the country already use 10 digit dialing so we are just catching up.  It actually makes things easier for automated systems.

This means that systems that automatically dial out (to local numbers) may need to be changed to have the area code added to the local number.  These devices include modems, fax machines, security alarms, cell phone address books, phone system call forwarding, etc.
