Do you have to dial the area code to make local calls when you are outside your area code?
It depends where in the USA or Canada you are located.
In a few places, mostly rural areas, you can still dial a local call to an adjacent area code with just the 7-digit number. However, in more and more cases, you must dial either the area code plus the 7-digit number or 1 + AC + 7d, depending on whether or not your area has "toll alerting." (Toll alerting means that you must always dial "one plus" on all toll calls.)
For example, in San Francisco, a toll call to San Rafael (long-distance, but within the same area code) can be dialed with just 7 digits, but a local call to Oakland (local, but in a different area code) must be dialed with 1+AC+7d.
If you are using a cell phone, you may or may not be able to dial local calls in the area code where you are currently physically located as just 7 digits; local rules vary from place to place. However, to prevent confusion, it is best to enter all numbers on your cell phone with the area code.
