This poll deals with area codes.
I'm not sure how well the term 'area code' will transfer across the pond, but there are ten digits in phone numbers is the Americas, only the last seven of which you need if are calling someone in with the same area code. For example, phone numbers in my vicinity are 216-555-5555 but if I go east enough they become 440-555-5555 and if I go south enough, they become 330-555-5555.
At any rate,, the questions I have is if you are calling someone with the same area code and you give them a number to reach, do you give them the area code by default or no? I generally don't and am somewhat surprised when someone checks it when I give them the number. I realize things are different nowadays with cell phones, but not when I am working with a landline.
Let me know, do you give the area code with the phone number?
