NLJew dialing procedure for long distance As of January 8th, 1995 al long distance calis made witbin the same area code must include the area code, or they will flot be connected. Bell Canada urges its customers to make the necessary dialing changes to avoid any last minute problems. Remember you always dial: 1 or O + Area Code + telephone number for ail long distance calîs after January 8, 1995. Bell will be introducing a message reminding customers to include the area code for ail long distance calîs if this has flot been done. This change is necessary because North America is running out of area codes that telephone numbers can be assigned to. With the increased use of telecom- munications equipment such as faxes, cellular phones and modems, more than 13,500 new numbers are required every day throughout North America. This new dialing procedure will accommodate growthwell into the future. Customers in the 905 area already use il digit dialing for long distance caîls within 905 area.
