954 area code. 1.9 million others with the same. Come find me
I have also noted that point as well in that to the majority of members only the US exists. Most Yanks believe that the world starts and ends at their shoreline.
Also as we have noted some members have problems with other countries and non-US members from other countries.
It is pointless for ourselves to post our area codes plus to do so is risky.
A few points.
"Most Yanks believe that the world starts and ends at their shoreline." I have to say with a certain amount of embarrassment that you're generally correct on this point. But I ain't one of them. I've visited every continent except Antarctica multiple times, including your continent of Australia five times.
Also (again I say this with a certain amount of shame), we Americans are notorious for our ignorance of geography beyond our borders. And even within our borders.
Here in the USA, the area code (it also could be called a city code) is for the geographic area where the telephone is located. It is followed by the seven digit local number, so there are ten million possible numbers in each area code. Revealing one's area code poses minimal risk.
For what it's worth, Canada and the Caribbean islands are also on the same North American telephone system as the USA so calls to or from those locations are not international calls here. (Hello site administrator. Aren't you in Canada?)
Please note that I was the first to comment on this topic and I proudly listed my San Francisco area code.
Call it an area code, call it a city code, call it a country code, some whiny ass member is going to flip it around, make it about them and get themselves all butt-hurt.....
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:
You say either and I say either,
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either neither, neither

But oh, if we call the whole thing off
Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas,
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off.
You say laughter and I say larfter
You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter
Let's call the whole thing off,
You like vanilla and I like vanella
You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

So all right no contest we'll order lobseter
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.
A bit of history here, when area codes were assigned back in the late forties, there were only three (yes, three!) for the entire state of California. But as the population grew and more people got telephones, then with the proliferation of fax machines and cellular telephones, they began running out of numbers. So area codes were carved up into ever smaller geographic areas. Then came area code overlay, where an area will have two (or more) area codes and which we have here in San Francisco. We must dial the area code and the seven digit number even for local calls. In other words ten digit dialing.
Wouldn't a better solution have been to make local numbers eight digits instead of seven? That way there could be ten times as many numbers in each area code. An area code would cover a larger area and there wouldn't be the dreaded code overlay. Indeed, in many (perhaps most) parts of the world local numbers are eight digits. When I was a **** in Cincinnati, our phone numbers were six digits. Then in the late fifties they were expanded to seven to bring our numbers in line with the national standard and to pave the way for direct long distance dialing. (Are there any other old farts like me who remember when long distance calls had to be placed by an operator?) In any event, we got thru that change from six digit numbers to seven and I'm sure the nation could get thru a change from seven digits to eight.
I've asked this question several times, even of people in the telephone industry, but I have yet to get a good answer. Does anyone in the SYD membership know?
