I've been doing it for years already.
Is that just for landlines? _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

I think it's been 2-3 decades since we were told this was a requirement... I might have still been in the navy, as I recall my father grumbling about how technology wasn't supposed to lead to more complications when I was home on leave.

Land line, what is that?
I program a number in my cell, then just press on a name. 10 digit, who cares. _________________ "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson "Evil often triumphs, but never conquers." Joseph Roux |

In Colorado, we've had to use the full area code for well over a decade. Colorado added the 720 area code intermingled with the old 303 area code.

In the early 90s my dad was swapping over a phone switch system in West Texas from 4 digit to 7. It was one of the last ones in the State, there were old people beating on the door to the phone office yelling at him to turn it back. That shit was funny. Some people get mad over the dumbest shit.

I can remember word prefixes as part of a phone number. Mine was Melrose.
Melrose 5, 2819. And my grandparents had an old wall phone at the ranch, where you would jiggle the hook to connect to the exchange operator, who would then complete your call. And don't forget party lines... Jeez, now I feel old.... _________________ Tier 9 Operator |
