Skype Number: No area code for Cape Town, South Af...

On the drop down for skype number area code selection for south africa, Cape Town does not appear, only Joburg, Pretorai and Durban.
Cape Town is the 'mother' city - the legislative capital of SouthAfrica. There should be no pronvicial restrictions like with US states, so why no area code?
please...

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.

IPhone3g Cannot send SMS Messages without entering phone number w/area code

i get an error 1121611611 "please enter 10 digit number". The contact i messaged number is 10 digits in my contacts. I hope i dont have to re-enter the phone number with area code for every text message. any solution to this problem, is there a way to automatically include the area code on text messaging? The contact has the same area code as me.
Thanks

I am having the same problem as well...it seems that for dummies like me who never spent much time texting before I got the iphone that I did not know you had to enter a person's area code also to text them (hence the 10 digit error message).
That said, I, like you, put in the area code and got things to work--problem is when you save to Favorites. So here is what I discovered on my own while chatting with an Apple tech support rep: When you save to Favorites, if the person you are calling/texting has your same area code, the program then deletes the area code prior to dialing and you can't get out. I gave the tip to the tech--she said she would forward it to the appropriate folks. It seems they need to slightly change the code so that Favorites does not eliminate the area code on local calls/texts. I also talked to ATT who said that ideally one should always use the area code for all calls--not sure why as it works just fine to not enter it, but that is what she said.
So my workaround for now is to not have my wife in Favorites so that I can text her--seems to work ok if just dialing from Contacts as long as you have the area code stored with the number in Contacts.
Hope this works for you as it did for me--hope they will address it and fix it.

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.

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have changed the region settingon your Mac five times it is set in stone for ever.
Try using VLC for playback instead:

Different location in area code for Skype to go nu...

My skype to go numbers are located in Halifax, all of Nova Scotia is one area code. That is not a local call for me, more like $0.75/min. Can I change to a truely local number in this area code?

when you call a Skype To Go from a phone that has not been authorized/registered, you are challenged for a PIN number to prove you are the owner of the STG number
the PIN number (a 4-digit code) is set in your account where you see Skype To Go -- best to sign in at http://www.skype.com

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.
