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.

Is the 786 the area code for Miami FL?
Yes, Miami and the Florida Keys are in area code 305 and overlay area code 786. (786 was chosen because it spells SUN on the telephone dial.)
Since the new thing is that you have to dial a area code before you dial a number do you have to dial your area code before dialing 911?
No, 911 is a special case. You just dial 911, even if you dial area+number or 1+area+number for other local calls.
Where in North America is area code 786?
Area code 786 is an overlay on area code 305, serving Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys (Monroe County). (Area code 786 was chosen for the overlay because it spells SUN on the telephone dial.)
When do you need to use an area code?
When dialing a number outside your own area code, you typically must dial the area code. In some areas, you also must dial the area code for all toll calls, even within the same area code. Also, in overlay areas you must dial the area code for all calls.
When calling a different state do you dial your area code or the other states?
The point of a phone number is that it uniquely identifies the phone you wish to call. When you dial an area code, you are asking the system to connect you to that area code. So, you would dial the area code of the location you are calling TO.
How do you use long distance numbers?
Dial 1 before the area code and 7-digit number.
What is the prefix for Mexico's international phone number?

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.
Area code 408 calling area code 661. I tried calling my friend that has an area code 661 and mine is 408 and it dialed someone else I tried again and the same result. Do I need to put stuff before?
To dial a number in area code 661 from a landline in area code 408, you should dial 1-661 and then the 7-digit local number. On most cellphones, you can dial just 661 and then the 7-digit local number. Maybe your friend moved or just has a different # now.
Do you need to dial the area code when calling Saskatoon?
Until 25 May 2013 (2013-05-25), you can dial local calls in Saskatoon, and throughout Saskatchewan's area code 306, by dialing only the 7-digit number, although beginning in late February you may get a nagging reminder message suggesting that you dial the area code and number before the call completes as normal. Beginning 25 May 2013, you will have to dial the area code and number (for example, 306-555-0123) for all local calls within, to, or from any part of Saskatchewan. That is in preparation for the introduction of the new overlay area code 639. The 639 area code will serve the same geographic area as the existing 306 area code; namely, the entire province. For toll calls, continue to dial 1 + area + number.
Do you have to enter a 1 before dialing area code 320?
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.
