Common Movie Issue

238 views

Why does everyone in movies leave out the area code when calling someone??? They always only dial 7 digits. What kind of magical world is this where you don’t have to type the area code? I’ve noticed it way too many times on tv.

If it is an old movie, area codes were not required for local calls.

Even today if you are in an area code, and your phone has a phone number in that area code, and you are calling someone in that same area code you do not need to enter the area code.
