Common Movie Issue

241 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.

There’s two reasons for this. The first being that they don’t want anyone trying to actually try calling the numbers you see in movies and tv shows. The other reason is to save time. Dialing those extra three digits takes up precious time that adds nothing to the story. It might not seem like much but, all cutting time across the board can add up quick. It’s the same reason you never see anyone say goodbye when they end a call.
