[Asterisk-Users] USA dial plan

[Alfred R. Nurnberger]

Here are just a few examles for clarification.

Lets assume my local area code is (212)

----------- local calls - usually free --------------
555-1111		= local call  7-digit dialing area
212 555-1111	= local call 10-digit dialing area

------------ toll calls - metered -------------------
1 555-1111		= toll call  7-digit dialing area
1 212 555-1111	= toll call 10-digit dialing area
*) Notice that the dialed area code is the same as my own area code

----------- long distance call - metered -----------
1 518 555-1111	= long distance call
*) Dialed area code is different from my own area code


Regards.
Alfred

For comprehensive info by area code (and as pointed out it does differ
from location to location) check the North American Numbering Plan website
at http://www.nanpa.com/.  Left menu click on Dialing Plan and then go to
the location of your choice.
