10 digit dialing in Utah for MLS.
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 5:36 pm
In July of 2007 we received news that Utah was going to receive a new area code to allow for more numbers in in growing Utah areas.
The new 385 area code will cover the same geographic area as the existing 801 area code. The 385 area code will affect residents in the following counties: Davis, Morgan, Salt Lake, Weber, and Utah.
On March 1, everyone living in those counties will have to dial 10 digits to make a local call.
My MLS has a local number that it uses to transmit. I am certain that our area code is not part of the dialer number used to transmit.
The good news is that I have heard from a good source that the Church will be sending down a fix to all of the wards that will put the right area code in front of the wards regular dialer number this weekend. I also found out that some time after Tuesday of next week that the Church will be adding the 801 prefix to telephone numbers in household records that do not currently have an area code listed.
Just a suggestion, all wards in those counties should transmitt before March 1st to make sure they get the fix.
