Get an Area Code for Local Number

Hi all,
I am in Connecticut.  I work in New York City. I don't have a mailing address in NYC.
I am wondering if I can get a 212 telephone number and forward that to my cell, etc?
I am afraid I am loosing work becasue I have a CT area code on my phone.

I have sent you a private message to address this further.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • HT5554 how do i get an unlock code for iphone 3

    How can I get the unlock code for my iphone 3, I never had an acct with ATT and they refuse to help me, anyone have any suggestions?

    Apple would not be able to help you even if your iPhone was not jailbroken. Unlocking is completely up to the carrier, and AT&T's polices are clear; you must be a current or former customer.
    Sorry, but there is no way you can get the iPhone officially unlocked, and we cannot help with hacking the iPhone in these forums.
    Regards.

  • I just updated my 3gs to the latest iOS 5 update and now I am unable to text certain numbers.  I keep getting the error code 1121611611 invalid number, even though the number I have in my contacts is a 10 digit number.  Any suggestions on fixing this?

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • 1 + area code and phone number

    All phone numbers are coming up 1 + area code and phone number. Is there a way to turn off the "1+" and just have area code and phone number?

    In areas that have more than one area code for the same geographic area, 10 digit dialing with area code is mandatory. 1+ dialing is required from land lines, but the 1+ is optional from mobile phones.
    "What is an Area Code Overlay?
    An overlay is the addition of another area code to the same geographic region as an existing area code. An overlay does not require customers to change their existing area code.
    What Will be the New Dialing Procedure?
    To complete calls from a landline phone, the new dialing procedure requires callers to dial 1 + area code + telephone number. This means that all calls in the 310 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using 1+ area code + telephone number.
    To complete calls from a cellular or mobile phone, callers may dial the area code + telephone number or 1 + area code and telephone number whenever placing a call from a phone number with an overlay area code."
    Since it doesn't matter using a mobile phone, I guess the databases have included the 1+ for completeness and all users (mobile and land line) can be accommodated.

  • Assignment to Co. Code for providing number range

    Dear Forum,
    We are trying to specify the number to Company Code for providing number range using the T code AO11. However, we notice that in the initial screen the particular company code does not appear against which we are required to specify the number. We also do not see the icon for adding the new entry. Is there some config missing due to which we are not able to see the Company Code. Would  appreciate your help.
    Thanks!
    Regards

    Hi raj n,
    OK, now I unerstand.
    An entry exists for every FI existing company code in transaction AO11 as long as the company code is assigned to a chart of depreciation  (Tr. OAOB).
    Please check your setting in transaction OAOB.

  • I need to get my verification code via mobile number but use a different and can't get it, how do I update my number?

    I need to get my verification code via mobile number but use a different number and can't get it, how do I update my new number so that I can get the text message verification code?

    Verification code for two-step verification? If so, you can register a new new number to receive the code via text message by going to https://appleid.apple.com/account/home and click on "Manage Your Apple ID" and then on "Password and Security" and then "Add or Remove Trusted Devices." You will need a verification code in order to log in so if you currently only have one and it is no longer available you will need to use your Recovery Key.

  • Need help getting an area code out of my program.

    I wrote a program that displays a phone number with a bunch of things, like mutators, constructors and what not. Then I created a test class to test the methods. It prints the phone number, but it won't extract the area code from the number. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
    Here's my test class
    public class PhoneNumberTest {
        public static void main(String[] args)
            PhoneNumber number=new PhoneNumber();
            PhoneNumber code=new PhoneNumber();
            number.setNum("612-219-9042");
            System.out.println("Phone Number: "+ number);
            System.out.println("Area Code: "+ code);
    }Here's my class i'm testing
    public class PhoneNumber {
        private String wholeNum;
        private String areaCode;
        public PhoneNumber(){
            wholeNum="";
            areaCode="";
        public PhoneNumber(String num, String code){
            setPhone(code, num);
        public String toString(){
            return(areaCode+" "+wholeNum);
        public String equals(){
            return(areaCode);
        public void setPhone(String num, String code){
            wholeNum=num;
            areaCode=code;
        public PhoneNumber setAreaCode(String code){
            areaCode=code;
            return this;
        public void setNum(String num){
            wholeNum=num;
        public void setCode(String code){
            areaCode=code;
            code=wholeNum.substring(0, 2);
        public String getWholeNum(){
            return wholeNum;
        public String getAreaCode(){
            return areaCode;
    }

    Okay. Well sorry about the post. I'll try to fix it all then.For starters, look at this "test" code:
    PhoneNumber number=new PhoneNumber();
    PhoneNumber code=new PhoneNumber();Do you really need two PhoneNumber objects to hold one phone number?

  • How do i get a verification code for element9 so i can send pics

    how do i get a verification code for element 9 so i can send pics

    I know some email services block bulk email completely and I’ve only tested it with Gmail which works fine. Should also work with other web mail e.g. Yahoo and Hotmail. Before you start it will help to check your internet security settings. If they are set to High, reduce the settings to Medium temporarily. Then follow these instructions.
    1. Log in to your mail provider on the web and add the following email to your address/contacts book.
    [email protected]
    2. Open Organizer and on the menu click:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Sharing
    3. Choose Adobe Email Service from the client dropdown menu.
    4. Add your name and email address to the fields provided and click OK
    5. Test the system (first use only)  by selecting a photo in organizer and choosing Share >> Photo Mail then click Next
    6. Choose a contact then click  Next
    7. Click Next Step, then click Next - the sender verification dialog will open.
    8. Check you have spelt your email address correctly and hit the Resend E-Mail button.
    9. Go to your inbox (also check spam) and when the Adobe mailer message is received copy (Ctrl+C) the long verification code.
    10. Return to the verification dialog and paste it into the Sender verification field and click OK.
