Many areas now require 10-digit dialing. The area in which I live has required it for years. It's a good idea to always store your contacts with full area code/number, both in the event your localtiy switches to 10-digit dialing and so that, if your out of your area code, you don't have problems dialing numbers. You don't need to dial a 1 on cell phones for calls outside of your area code.
