5. Local Toll (1 + 10 digit)
Some parts of the country require that in order to call a toll location within your own area code, you must dial 1 +
Area Code + Office Code + subscriber number.
In this application, we have to have the telephone system “know” which office codes are local and which are not
local within the area code. We have to know this in order to be able to properly return a call.
For example: If I receive a call at TransTel Communications and it has the Caller ID of 561-747-4567, and I want
to return the call, I must dial only the Office Code and subscriber number. 747 is a local office code within
the 561 Area Code. My telco provides me with a list of the office codes that are local and those that are toll
calls within the 561 area code.
However, if I receive a call at TransTel Communications and it has the Caller ID of 561-994-2345, to redial it, I must
dial 1 + 561 + 994 + 2345. It is not a local office code, but it is within the 561 area code.
Program 84-01-01 is set to 561. Office Codes within 561 that are not local calls and must be dialed using 1+Area
Code + Office Code + Subscriber Line will need to have Program 86-nxx programmed with the value 2:
86-361 = 2 86-362 = 2 86-363 = 2 86-364 = 2 86-365 = 2 86-366 = 2
86-367 = 2 86-368 = 2 86-369 = 2 86-991 = 2 86-992 = 2 86-994 = 2
With this programming, all calls that Caller ID receives as 561-361-xxxx will be redialed using the digit string
1+561+361+xxxx. Every office code programmed with the value 2 will be dialed using this method.
6. Outside of Area Toll (1 + 10 digit)
This is the “rest of North America.” This accounts for calling outside of my home area code. It will always include 1
+ Area Code + Office Code + subscriber number.
For example: If I receive a call from New York City, it will display 212-987-6543 on my Caller ID unit. If I want to
return the call, I must dial 1 + 212 + 987 + 6543 to call the number.
This is the default dialing for any examples not covered above. If the area code does not appear in the Home Area
Code Programming form 84 and it also does not appear in the Overlay Area Code Table Form 85 the call will be
placed using 1+Area code + Office Code + Subscriber Number.
These are the potential dialing patterns that are in use in the United States, Canada and many other parts of North
America. Obviously, they are not all in use at one place.
Some examples within the United States:
Miami, Florida uses patterns 3 and 6 as listed above.
West Palm Beach, Florida uses patterns 1, 5 and 6.
The entire state of Maine uses patterns 1, 2 and 6.
The state of Colorado uses patterns 1, 4 and 6.
