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.

  • Why do I have to dial a "1" before making long-dista​nce call

    I have the FiOS bundle (phone, internet and tv).  In order to redial calls coming from caller ID I often have to add a 1 to the number.  So when I go to dial from my caller ID I have to write down or memorize the number and then add a "1" to the front of it, which I never had to do with Comcast.
    Two questions:
    1. Why do I have to dial a "1" before the phone numbers?
    2. Does Verizon charge for long-distance?

    The FCC categorizes Verizon as an 'ILEC' (Incumbent Local Exchange (telephone) Company; this means that they existed prior to the Bell System divestiture in 1984 and are required to observe certain operational standards to permit reasonable interconnectivity with their network(s) and any new 'CLEC' Competitive Local Exchange (telephone) Company.  Comcast is considered to be a 'CLEC' and as such only has to adhere to such standards to permit their connection to the public switched network.  Comcast is also a VOIP provider and thus creates many of its own rules as it sees fit --VOIP providers use many proprietary rules.  While this may seem advantageous to many people, it does create consumer confusion such as you have encountered with the 1+ access.
    In reality, it is an old remnant from electromechanical switching systems (pre- electronic switches) and is not really needed in today's network.  In fact, many US localities have a 1+ 'permissive' dialing plan --meaning the call will go through with, or without, the 1+ (cellular does in fact work permissively).  The likelihood of the 1+ access changing in the near future is nil.
    That all said, depending on the telephone set(s) you have it is possible to dial a 1+ call from a Caller ID list --some sets even have a menu option to cause all calls to have a 1+ prefixed.  Or, you could simply dial the 1+; then scroll to the desired Caller ID number and select it.  I do this all of the time.

  • TS1389 I am trying to authorise a new computer. The Apple instructions are to select Authorise this computer from the itunes store menu. I can't find this in any menu. Can you please help? How do I authorise my computer?

    I am trying to authorise a new computer. Apple's instructions are to select "Authorise this computer" from the itunes store menu. I can't find this in any menu. Can you please help? How do I authorise my computer?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Most started out with 200-250 limits and now are at 1,000 or more in less than a year.Well, as noted, store cards can be a building tool and as I understand it you have been in that process for about a year and congrats on your progress. That said, I would not be applying for any additional store cards if there is not a specific need for it. This is not the type of credit you want in your profile in the long run. With regard to closing them: I don't know how this will affect your UTIL as I am not aware of your other cards limits however there are many people that have closed these types of cards when they determined there was no use for them, they were not needed any more, they were not the type/quality of cards they wanted to have in the long run, and lastly the history of that card would remain on their report for 10 years. Some bare bones info and the affects of closing cards: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Closing-Credit-Cards/td-p/347190 All that said, while the above lists the math of it all, if you will, it does not speak to the aspect of quality. As you continue to grow, how do you want your profile to look to lenders? Do you want to have 10 low quality store cards won by the credit card trick with limits in the 1k range that you may never use and can't really use substantially anyway as your UTIL would go through the roof very quickly with a 1k limit or do you want a lower number of high quality cards with healthy limits that will continue to grow overtime if you show them the respect they deserve?

  • Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.

    Can you go back to lion if you have already gone to Mountain Lion? I wish I had the old OS back.

    Try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    I was asking the author who has posted this question to be like a class(very clear)
    and not either as an abstract class or an interface
    Hope i have made it clear..Not in the slightest. This has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the question asked. Not to mention that classes are classes, and all equal in the eyes of the compiler, be they abstract, concrete or interfaces. It's difficult to see what your point is, to be honest, but I suspect it wouldn't be worth seeing anyway

    I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
