When did ten digit dialing become commonplace in the Houston area? Probably after silver dollars could be acquired from the banks for $1. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: On January 16, 1999, area code 832 was created as an overlay for the entire Houston area. At the same time, the 713-281 boundary was merged and area code 281 was turned into an overlay for the entire region. The result was three area codes covering the Houston metro area, with ten-digit dialing required for all calls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_...832,_and_346 One could suspect that advertising numbers with area codes may have started as early as March 19, 1983 when the first split occurred. It certainly would have been common after the second split occurred on November 2, 1996.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 08/17/2020 6:59 pm No one used area code prefixes in the 1960's. Where I lived, we still used letters for the first two numbers. HA3-5555, for instance. It was only in the 1970's when HA3 became 423. Everyone thought in letters on old rotary phones. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

Sometime around 1968 to 70. Report this Post to the Staff
