It depends whether the call is local or long distance, which is a different question from whether it is in the same area code or a different area code, unless you're in Mexico. (In Mexico, your area code is exactly the same as your local calling area.) For example, from San Francisco, California, in area code 415, there are local numbers in area codes 415, 650, and 510, but there are also long-distance numbers in area code 415.

To make it even more complicated, a "short-distance" call (long distance, but carried by your local phone company) may cost more than a coast-to-coast long-distance call. A call from San Francisco to Eureka, CA, on Pacific Bell will cost more than a call from SF to New York.

Bottom line: it depends.

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.
