If you are calling a different area code, yes, of course - otherwise how will the system know you are trying to call a number in that area rather than your own?

If you are making a local call in Miami, you dial the area code and number, without the prefix '1'. If you are making a long-distance call from Miami, dial 1 + area + number. If you're not sure whether the call is local or long distance, try first without the 1.

What is the long distance access code to call area code 910 from area code 828?

Area code 910 serves Wilmington and Fayetteville, North Carolina; area code 828 serves Asheville, N.C. To call from area code 828 to area code 910, just dial 1-910 and the 7-digit local number. To choose a long distance company other than your default for this call only, dial 101xxxx-1-910-xxx-xxxx, where 101xxxx is the access code for the long distance company you want to use. However, be careful, as you may be charged much higher "casual caller" rates if you do not have an account with the long distance company you choose.

That depends where you're calling from. If it's a local call within area code 320, you should dial just the 7-digit number. If it's a local call from a neighboring area code, you can dial either 320+7D or 1+320+7D. If it's long distance, you must dial 1+320+7D.

When calling a different state do you dial your area code or the other states?

In Alabama, and in many (but not all) states, you must dial 1 + area + number for all toll calls, even within the same area code. If you are on a landline in area code 205 and you must dial 1-205-number, that means that it is a toll call.


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.
