That may depend on your telephone company and/or on the specific make and model of mobile phone you are using.
That depends on your wireless carrier (cellphone company) or your local telephone company (for a landline phone).
Area code 877 was created in 1998 for toll free calls. Calls to number in this area code may be restricted by the customer to whom the number is assigned.
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.
Yes but it depends on what calling plan you have and what long distance company you use. Also, there are many places where some calls to adjacent or nearby area codes are local calls. For example, all calls from area code 213 to area code 323 are local.
North American area code 840 has not been assigned.
The 874 area code is an invalid unassigned number. If you are getting calls from this area code they are being "spoofed".
It depends on where in area code 206, where in area code 253, what phone company you use, and what calling plan you signed up for. However, at least some calls from area code 206 (Seattle, WA) to area code 253 (Tacoma, WA) are local.
settings-->Phone settings--->security---> enter your 4 digit code (usually, the last four(4) numbers of your cell phone number--->restrictions-->calls--->and set both incoming and outgoing calls to "allow all". If your phone is already locked then you will have to enter your 4 digits of your cell phone number (your security code).
Short answer: because you live in an area code overlay in a state that does not have "toll alerting."Long answer: In an area code overlay, two or more area codes serve the same geographic territory. Two phone lines, even at the same address, could have different area codes. To minimize confusion as to which number you will reach if you dial just 7 digits, and to provide a "level playing field" for new competing local phone companies (more likely to have numbers in the new area code), you have to dial the area code on all calls. However, since you live in an area that does not have "toll alerting" (local calls can be dialed without '1' but all toll calls must be dialed 1+), you have to dial 1 plus area code plus number for all calls.All of Canada and most of the United States has toll alerting, but there are several large states that do not, including California, New York, and Illinois.
When an area code splits, some of the telephone numbers change to the new area code. There is a period of permissive dialing in which calls placed using either the old or new area code will complete. After permissive dialing ends, calls placed using the old area code will receive a recorded message instructing the caller to redial using the new area code. When that recording is disconnected, calls made using the old area code will fail, or will reach a wrong number.
For outgoing Comcast phone calls. Dial *82 before you dial your intended number to unblock your phone number for one phone call.
In order to block an outgoing call from a landline, dial *67 at the beginning of the phone number. This will block your number to whatever number you dialed. Your number will not permanently be blocked, so you must dial it at the beginning of every number you dial where you don't want your number to be seen.
