All Customers With A Texas 512 Area Code Must Dial Area Code + Telephone Number For All Local Calls Beginning June 1, 2013

Beginning June 1, 2013, all customers with a 512 area code in Texas must dial the area code plus telephone number for all local calls. A new 737 area code is being introduced to the same geographic region served by the 512 area code. As a result, 10-digit dialing will be required for local calls within and between the 512 and 737 area codes. Services and equipment with only 7-digit programming will need to be reprogrammed for 10-digit dialing by this date. Customers should begin using 10-digit dialing before June 1 to avoid interrupted calls.

ALL CUSTOMERS WITH A TEXAS 512 AREA CODE MUST DIAL AREA CODE + TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR ALL

LOCAL CALLS BEGINNING June 1, 2013


What is the New Dialing Procedure? To complete local calls, the new dialing procedure requires callers to dial area code + telephone number. This means that all local calls in the 512 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using area code + telephone number. When Will the Change be Mandatory? Beginning June 1, 2013, you must use the new dialing procedure for all local calls. If you do not use the new dialing procedure, your call will not be completed, and a recording will instruct you to hang up and dial again. However, all customers should begin using the new dialing procedure before June 1, 2013. Why is the Change Necessary? To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the 737 area code is being added to the area served by the 512 area code. Since two area codes will now serve the same geographic region, the area code must be used when dialing any telephone numberincluding calls within the same area code. Beginning July 1, 2013, new telephone lines or services may be assigned numbers with the new 737 area code. Callers must use the new dialing procedure for local calls in the new 737 area code. What Will You Need to Do? In addition to changing your dialing procedure, all services, automatic dialing equipment, or other types of equipment that are programmed with a 7-digit telephone number will need to be reprogrammed to use the new dialing procedure. Some examples are life safety systems, fax machines, Internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions. Be sure to check your website, business stationery, advertising materials, personal checks, contact information, and your personal or pet ID tags to ensure the area code is included. What will remain the same? Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change. The price of a call, coverage area, or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay. What is a local call now will remain a local call regardless of the number of digits dialed. You can still dial just three digits to reach 911. If 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 and 811 are currently available in your community; you will still dial them with just three digits. Who may you contact with questions?
