Hello,
I've escalated this issue and hope that we can provide better coverage for this part of the UK. A common reason for the lack of Skype #s in a particular location is often the inability of the local telco to make sufficient #s available to Skype to enable the facility to be offered.
That may or may not be the case here and a review will establish the reason.
Thank you for your informative posts.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

I need an online number for my local area code 606 Morehead Kentucky.
There are several cities surrounding mine with local online number options
but not Morehead, Kentucky. If it is possible, please add Morehead to your list
and I will purchase an online number. Thank you for your attention.

But couldn't figure out what to chose among 13 choices listed as New York City Zones 3 through 15. Is there a difference in the Zones? I notice they all have the same area code - 347.
There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City. It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype. For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number. For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past. I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones. The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

Iphone Makes me dial my area code for local calls

For no apparent reason, I started having to dial my area code for local calls manually dialed.
After research/ Found the problem: The culprit in my case was my AT&T Micro Cell tower. All it took was realizing it only did it at home (the location of the towerr) and a lot of trouble shooting with Apple support. They were stumped. The fix was a simple reset of the tower.

It is good practice to always store numbers in contacts with the area code. There is no harm in dialing the area codes even if you live in an area that still uses 7-digit dialing. And, it prevents issues when you travel.

Must dial area code for local calls

A couple of weeks ago, my ability to dial local calls with 7 digits ended. I get a recording saying I must dial the area code. I am in the Albany, NY area (area code 518). No one else has to dial the area code. I tried to call tech support but I have never been able to get through. I tried on-line chat and was told the extra digits were necessary due to the phone service being voip. Now, TimeWarner Cable has voip service and their customers don't dial the area code for local calls. I can't believe this voip answer that I was given. Even my Verizon cell phone allows me to only dial 7 digits.
I like the fios service but the availability of support is terrible. Support that I received from TimeWarner was always good to excellent.
The support reminds me of the old show Laugh In where Lily Tomlin played a telephone company operator and her famous line was "We don't care. We don't have to. We're the phone company."

You can use or not use the 1 before dialing the area code. I have programmed my cell phone and all speed dials to include the area code. If you leave the NY area with your cell and travel outside your home it will tell you that you must dial the area code so i just include the area code on any and all phone numbers nowadays.
When you go to someone elses house using the area code will generally work even though 7 digit dialing may not be required. Just use all 10 numbers to play it safe, same on the cell. This way you get used to using 10 digit dialing.

Address Book won't import local area code

I'm trying to export my contact info from Palm Desktop to Address Book. Everything works fine, expect that AB doesn't import a contact's area code if it's my local area's code. In this case AB only imports a contact's 7 digit phone number. This isn't a problem with area codes outside of my local code, --they import just fine, and I get the whole 10 digits.
I've tried exporting both vCards and text files. By opening the text file with TextEdit, I have verified that Palm Desktop is indeed exporting the area codes --both my local code and distant ones. Yet when I import that same file into AB, contacts in my local area are stripped of the area code.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, --Brian

Thanks for your questions/suggestions. I think they have helped lead me in the right direction over the past 24 hours, though I still don't have a solution.
To make the long story short:
I believe the problem lies in the fact that as I've added contacts to Palm Desktop over the years, I've not included an area code if they were in my area. Now I'm switching to AB since it can sync with my new cell phone, and I'm needing area codes for all calls. Rather than enter my local code for hundreds of contacts, I've used a Palm preference whic sets up a "default area code."
What I have discovered is that contacts for which I have manually entered an area code transfer to AB just fine. Contacts for which this preference provides the area code lose this information in the transfer. This is baffling, because the two cases look identical when viewed with Textedit, --the area code is visible plain as day in either situation.
Just as puzzling --when AB imports a contact it gives a chance to review the information if the card is a duplicate. When I perform this review a "Text File Import" window appears. In this window areas codes always appear, --whether manually entered or provided by the Palm preference. However, in the "Reviewing Card" window which follows, cards which had Palm preference provided area codes have inexplicably lost those codes, while those with manually entered codes have retained them.
Any further thoughts?
Thanks some more, --Brian

SPA3102 Local area code

Was wondering if there was a way to set up my router so that when I dial out via voip, I wouldn't have to dial the country code + area code and so that it automatically dials the local are code when I dial a 7 digit number?
(Note: I tried to make this thread in the voip router thread but I don't have the permissions to.)

Can not get area code for skype number

I am trying to purchase skype number in the Uk the city is Belfast. In the drop down menu there is no area code for Belfast. I have even tried Ireland still nothing.
Hope someone can Help!
Many Thanks

Hi, Darwal, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, if the particular exchange you wish to have for a Skype Number does not appear on the list, then it is truly not available for any number of legitimate reasons. Check back periodically to see if the exchange becomes available; Skype does not announce when a fresh batch of Skype Numbers are newly added.
Regards,
Elaine

How can I change the area code for DVD's?

I brought some DVD's from Germany and watched them on my Mac Pro. After the DVD was involved in the drive I have to change the area code for the drive. I don't know why but I did it. I could watch the film. Today I like to watch a DVD from US but after the DVD was involved I got a message "the area code does'nt match the DVD code" and I can not change the area code.
What can I do to watch both arts of DVD's. Isn't that normal to have DVD's all over the world?

Here is the bit that Bengt forgot to answer!
DVD Player: About DVD-Video Regions
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have changed the region settingon your Mac five times it is set in stone for ever.
Try using VLC for playback instead:

Dialing area code for local call - is this normal?

Just had my FIOS triple play installed over the weekend. In the recent past I've used VOIP providers Optimum Voice, Vonage, Packet8, MagicJack and Ooma, and FIOS is the only one that makes me dial my area code to make a local call (I'm in area code 516, where it is not normally necessary to do so).
Is this a bug in the system, and if so, are there any plans to fix it? When I first signed up with Optimum Voice they had a similar problem, but that was 9 years ago!

It is disgraceful that when I signed up for FIOS that I was not informed that I would have to us my area code to call my next door neighbor!!! My realtives that use Fios do not have to do that. They advertise like everything is local buy when I called to complain I'm on the phone with people in Texas who do not even work for Verizon!!! I will be call the Public Service Commission, Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs on Monday. The Technical Support people who I waited on hold 15 minutes to speak to were rude and say if I pay more I can have this issue resolved!!! Bait and Switch if I ever heard it!!

Has anyone else noticed that the iOS 6 Maps App is missing the area code for many places it has listed?

If I try to look up a local business on the Maps App it drops a pin on all of the locations matching my search parameters. However, when I get details about a dropped pin, the phone number is usually missing the area code! For example, if the phone number is +1 (123) 555-5555 it would show up as +1 (555) 555-5. This makes it impossible to call directly from the maps app or to copy and paste infront of a manually entered area code (because of the '+1'). Has anyone else noticed this?

Have you checked to make sure that your region settings are correct?

I need a local # with area code 813 for tampa, FL us and I can get nothing. There is nothing that shows up in the drop down bar and no #s available. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Nope, not working for me in Minnesota. Nothing populates in the list of area codes at all, it's just blank, and then when I hit the "next" button it defaults the phone number to the first Minnesota area code in the list (21 which I do not want.

Dialing local area code with new digital voice?

So I just had Verizon phone/tv/internet installed 2 days ago. I have FIOS digital voice and I have to dial my area code to make all local calls. I'm told this service is 6 months new and that I will see a nearly $10 savings in government charges and taxes from other FIOS telephone customers.
Anyone out there have digital voice and knows someone who has regular FIOS voice and compared bills yet? Curious since it would be a couple of months before I know the exact savings. I hear the first bill is will be different than the rest.

Mine was just installed today and I have the same problem. You posted on 2/27 and have no posted solutions. Did you get this resolved?
The "solution" is to dial 10 digits. Period. What is the big deal? I have had to dial 10 digits for 15 or 20 years, starting with my original POTS service and now with Digital Voice.
