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.

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.

Cordless not working with new digital voice

I have a cordless phone system that has my answer machine and three phones running on it. Since I changed to digital voice I cannot call out. I can receive calls and caller ID works, but I cannot call out. The phone has a dial tone when I pick it up but when I try to dial out I get silence. Tech support says I need fios enabled phone There goes my $300 giftcard they gave me for signing up>>>>>>The first tech guy I called stated I needed a fios phone. The 2nd said they never heard of this problem OR a fios phone I am a day from either going back to normal voice with fios or Comcast who is offering me 89 $$ for 3 years where is my fios is now 160$$! Anyone else have this type issue??

Sorry for the troubles you're having. Have you tried plugging in a regular cordless phone just to test the line??

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.

When i tried to text a message from my contact list i received a message saying invalid number of digits. i use the area code with the number but still would not send

Call your carrier and see what they suggest.

You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

Why do you have to dial the area code if you are calling from the same area code

I am considering switching over to Verizon Digital Voice, I already have Verizon phone service as part of my quad package. I understand that there are some more features, as well as a reduction of a certain tax resulting in apporx $8 savings per month. The only drawback, as far as my wife is concerned, is that we would be required to dial the area code even if we are calling next door. I am curious as to why that is. I live on Long Island, New York. Any insight would be helpful. I have used the speed dial argument, but I am getting resitance. Thanks in advance. Marv

Just switched from Vonage and they had a home area code feature that allowed same area code calls, so that whenever you dialed a 7 digit phone # it went through as a local area call. Don't understand why my new Verizon service can't do that; just makes me think I haven't figured it out yet.

Configuring UK Local Area Codes for BE3000 Site

When configuring sites for the BE3000, it is possible to define a local area code. This creates entries in the dial plan that allow users to just dial a local number with the system automatically adding the area code.
Currently (as of version 8.6.4) the BE3000 user interface requires that these local area codes are defined without the national trunk access code (i.e. the leading zero).
Examples:
Customer Location
Local Area Code
BE3000 Site Configuration
London
020
20
Bristol
0117
117
Bath
01225
1225

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.

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.

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.)

New Digital Voice user - Can I use and IP phone

Brand new to FIOS - triple bundle. Is Digital Voice a VOIP provider such that I can use an IP phone? In combination with my regular POTS?
Thanks!

You cannot use an IP phone with the digital voice service. The digital voice service closely resembles the POTS line vs. an IP line.

Library files files are replaced with new files

Almost everyday, when i start iTunes my library files are replaced with new files & then i need to replce the new ones with my backup set

There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

For Cisco SPA112: can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit number without having to dial the area code 00357 but not for 0030?

Cisco SPA112:
Can I make dial plan that can use 6 digit numbers without having to dial the area code 00357 but also being able to dial 0030xxxxxxxxxx numbers?

If you include a country number, you have to drop the initial 0 from the area code. eg +31 10 2345 6789 instead of +31 (0)10 2345 6789

Voice Dialing and Area Codes

Hi There,
Does anyone know how I get voice dialing to allow me to include the area code when I ask it to call a phone number? It currently only allows me to specify 7 digits instead of 10. I have set up my area code via the Call Log options and the number of digits for National numbers is set to 10.
If you cannot configure it to allow 10 digits, is there any way to configure it to automatically include a default area code when you specify a phone number by saying the digits?
Thanks.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your input. I actually do exactly the same thing as you described. However, my question was more for those instances when you don't currently have an entry in your Blackberry for the number you want to call using voice dialing and have to specify the number by saying the digits that comprise the desired phone number.
Thanks.

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.
