You dial a fax number on a fax machine exactly the same way that you would dial that same telephone number on a landline telephone.

If you are in an area where you must dial 1+area code+number for local calls (for example, New York City, Chicago, or parts of California), then you will need to do that on your fax machine as well.

If you are in an area where you must dial area code + number for local calls (for example, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Oregon, West Virginia, or much of Canada), then you will need to do that on your fax machine as well.

In most parts of the country, the telephone companies follow the industry recommendation to permit dialing 1+area+number for all calls, including local calls. However, there are some state regulators who insist that customers not be permitted to dial "one plus" unless the call incurs a toll charge.

Why if calling from a 314 area would need to dial 314 area code?

In areas with "toll alerting" (you must dial 1+ for all toll calls), you must dial 1+area+number even if the area code is the same. Many cell phones require you to dial the area code and number to prevent confusion with other nearby area codes. In overlay areas, you must always dial the area code. In some overlay areas, you can dial just the area+number for local calls; in others, you must dial 1+area+number for all calls, local or toll.


When do you have to dial 1 before a phone number?

In the United States, the rules on when you do or do not have to dial the area code vary from state to state.In many parts of the country (including about 2/3 of the population), you must dial 1 before dialing a long distance (toll) call, even if it is in the same area code. However, you do not need to dial 1 before dialing a local call, even if it is in a different area code (either an adjacent area code or an overlay code in the same geographic area). This system is known as "toll alerting," and it is also used throughout Canada.However, in other parts of the country, you must always dial 1 if you are calling a different area code, whether the call is local or toll. In some overlay areas, you must always dial 1 plus area code plus number for all calls, local or toll, same area code or different.On most mobile phones (cell phones), you do not have to dial 1.
