Changes dialed up for 405 area code this month

Body

Changes are coming for telephone customers in the 405 area code.

Starting April 24, all local calls within 405 will require 10-digit dialing. That means you will have to dial the area code plus the local number. 

The move to 10-digit dialing for local 405 area code calls is necessary to enable the addition of another area code for the area currently served by only 405.

The additional area code (572) is needed to ensure there will be enough telephone numbers available for the area.
