How many numbers do you have to dial to reach your next door neighbour?

i.e. a local call

i.e. 555-1212
or 555-555-1212
or something else

used to be 7, switched to 10 maybe 10 years ago.

10 digits.
WG

7 digits.

10 ......

Depends. Some places, they may be in a different area code. :)

Depends my voip phone is 10, actually you have to dial a 1 also, but I think there is something in the adapter settings I can change to make it 7. Cell phone is 7

10, i really miss when it was 7, but that was a LONG time ago in jersey.

10 here too

10 - they just started it a few years ago. This is such a tiny little town but the area code is most of North GA AND some towns south of ATL (which is crazy).

When I was in college we only had to dial 4 digits because everyone had the same exchange. And when my grandfather had his farm he, my cousins and 3 other families were on a party line. It's an interesting process to dial someone on your party line ;)

10- digits

Same here.

10.. I remember when I moved to the East Coast in '87, it was only 4 numbers.

10 here too

when I grew up I lived in a place and it was 3 lol

now it is 7

Seven, I remember it was ten once for some reason or another and it drove me crazy.

none.. I don't call the next door neighbor

8 :winkwink:

Seven here.

10 hurrrrr

None. I just scream out my window very loud and my neighbor hears me..... loud and clear LOL

1-555-555-1212

Depends on the age of the telephone connection. Some old ones have 4 digits, today they are at least 6 digits, but in most cases 7. It´s all without area codes. Local calls don´t need an area code.

6 here :) lowest so far!

6 here... (In the UK)

11 to a local cell and 7 to a home phone. If I call from the Vonage phone locally the 11 goes to 14 and the 7 goes to 11

I have to dial 11 with my phone service..

Can't say I call my neighbor, but here in Western NY it's 7.

When I lived in Orlando it was 10.

10 here in ottawa.. back at my parents.. only 4 from what I remember, been awhile

8 in Australia. Used to be 6 or 7 until the early 1990s when they renumbered and/or added a leading digit.

10 digits here.

I remember finding an old phone number at the family's lodge... it was only 4 digits! Must'a been much easier on those rotary phones.

12 digits

10 digits here

6 or 7 digits

8 digits!

7 digits. 555-1111

6 digits for entire region.

That would be 7
