The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission is reminding residents that mandatory 10-digit dialing for all telephone calls in the current 814 area code begins on Saturday, April 3.
The PUC encourages residents to confirm that your family, your business and all your devices are ready for the switch to 10-digit dialing – especially things like medical alert systems, alarms, and any other systems that automatically make calls.
The beginning of mandatory 10-digit dialing on April 3rd marks the next major step toward the arrival of a new “overlay” area code – 582 – which will eventually serve side-by-side with the current 814 area code. The 582 area code will be assigned to new telephone numbers once the available supply of numbers in the current 814 area code is exhausted.
