<p>A method and apparatus for automatic area code dialing includes a processor, software, and a memory for storing telephone numbers. At a dial tone, a caller dials a ten-digit number. The processor sends an area code dial request to the caller for future calls. The caller can confirm the request of the dialed number as a frequently-dialed number. The processor stores the number as a seven-digit portion and an area code portion. On subsequent calls to only the seven-digit portion of the number, the processor compares the seven-digit number to a group of stored numbers. If a match is found, the processor transmits both the seven-digit number and its corresponding area code.</p> |
