From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Commonality of 10-digit dialing

This article made 10-digit dialing seem a lot more common than it is. For example, it refers to a time when 10-digit-dialing was unnessecary as "in this period," even though we are still in that period: 10-digit-dialing is limited some metro areas. Also, at the end of the article, it says that 10-digit-dialing is "becoming the norm" but is "not yet universally required." This tone suggests that the US using ten-digit-dialing with pockets not yet conforming. Just the opposite is true! Even many major metro areas don't use ten-digit-dialing. So I've done some re-wording to reflect this.

[edit] Terminology

I don't know it if it a regional issue, but I have heard "11-digit dialing" far more often than "10-digit dialing". I believe the admittedly less common "11-digit dialing" should be reflected on this page and through a redirect page. I am going to be bold and do so, but I am putting it up for discussion here as well. -Rrius (talk) 00:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
