</div>Lucky you.<br>
Other states require 11 digits for all calls, regardless, and yet others<br>
require 10 digit for local and 11 digit for toll, they way the NANP was<br>
SUPPOSED to evolve, until the inmates took over the asylum and each<br>
state ( in the US ) PUC sets the numbering plan and splits vs overlays.<br>
