Area Codes Speed Long Distance Calls (Note change in code) Beginning December 2, the Area Code for long distance calling to the Ontario communities of Peterborough, Lindsay, Beaver-ton, and surrounding centres changes to 705. When calling long distance you'll find it helps to ■^know the area code for th>" community you -wish to reach. North America has been divided into Numbering Plan Areas (NPA) for long distance purposes, and each NPA is identified by a three-figure Area Code. Area Codes for many centres on this continent are listed in the introductory pages of the telephone directory. Colborne, for instance, together with Toronto, Hamilton, Oshawa and St. Catharines, is in the 416 area. Anyone outside this area calling you should associate this Area Code with your number. If, for example, they were calling the Colborne telephone number 355-5789, they should consider the full number as 416-355-5789. The same principle applies to calls we make outside our own NPA. (Long distance calls placed within the Numbering Plan Area do not require the Area Code). Those who dial their own long distance calls by Direct Distance Dialing find it saves time if they know the Area Code of the place they are calling. Also, if you place long distance calls through an operator, you'll find it goes through smoother if you give the Area Code. May we suggest that you give your Area Code along with your telephone number to your out-of-town friends and business acquaintances. It will help speed their calls to you.
