What is impacted by this change?

In addition to changing the way you dial local calls, all services, automatic dialing equipment or other types of equipment programmed to make 7-digit calls need to be reprogrammed to support 10- or 11-digit dialing.

Examples include:

  • Call forwarding settings
  • Fax machines
  • Fire or burglar alarm and security systems or gates
  • Internet dial-up numbers
  • Life safety systems or medical monitoring devices
  • Mobile or other wireless phone contact lists
  • Private branch exchange phone systems
  • Speed dialers
  • Voicemail services and other similar functions
