I have had to do that in the last two states I have lived in.

10 digit dialing is the norm in most places now.

That's gotta be annoying! What if you programmed all your phone numbers without area codes!

Here, we have that rule where we have to dial the area code even if I am making a local call. (ex. If I am in 212, I have to dial 212-XXX-XXXX)

So yea, 10 digits here!

In the Charlotte Metro area, we've had to dial ten digits for a few years. All of my numbers are stored as 10 digits in my cell. The same applies to landlines. A few years ago, they incorporated a new area code into our area (980), in addition to the current 704.
