Home area code

If you dial your local calls using only

is automatically stored without the area
code in the caller ID log.

Cell area code

Most cell phone entries are stored in a
10-digit format. If all of your cell phone
entries are stored this way, you do not
need to program your cell area code.
If your cell phone stores entries in a
7-digit format, we recommend that you
program your cell area code so that your
7-digit directory entries can be dialed
correctly using your home line.
