Do you always give your area code first or do you have to be reminded. It frustrates me a little when I ask for a number and just get 567 8910 and i have to ask whats the area code everytime

I always give the area code, even if I'm in the area where my area code is from. It's a habit from having moved so many places and having kept the same number.

I give my area code because it's from a totally different state. If I did have a "local" number, I'd still give my area code because the metropolitan area I live in has 3 area codes!! If I was living in OK still, I wouldn't give my area code because it's automatically assumed its 405, and you don't have to dial an area code to call someone else!

Our area code covers the entire of interior BC, so I only give it if I'm talking to someone from outside the area.

I grew up in Montreal and until rather recently you didn't need an area code to call anyone on the island and even a little beyond it. So, when I started visiting Ontario more often I always forgot to give my area code, and you really need to because there are SO many area codes around here! Now I pretty much always remember.

I live pretty close to the border where the area codes are different. For example my cell phone number, and my work phone number are 2 different area codes. So I always make sure to give my area code when I give my number. I think everyone around here does the same thing!

I always start out with my area code and then have to explain to people that it is an area code, not a local number.
