LOCAL & LONG DISTANCE CALLING

How to Use Direct Distance Dialing The United States and Canada are divided into more than 100 telephone areas, each identified by a three-digit area code. (See map on Page 18.) This system makes it possible for you to have Direct Distance Dialing. With DDD, you can dial your own station-to station calls, when the number you are calling has seven numerals.

If You Know The AREA CODE & Number... 1. On Calls Inside The 423 Or 606 Area Dial 1 + Area Code and then the TELEPHONE NUMBER. 2. On Calls Outside The 423 Or 606 Area Dial 1 and then the appropriate AREA CODE and the TELEPHONE NUMBER. 3. If You Reach A Wrong Number Dial 611 or 423-628-2121 to obtain the name and number of a questionable number.

If You Don’t Know the AREA CODE OR NUMBER... 1. How To Get The Area Code

Check the map showing the Area Codes for each state on Page 18. If you cannot determine the Area Code for the place you wish to call, dial the operator and he/she will be happy to assist you.
