W.V. Inches Toward 10-Digit Dialing
Charleston, W.V. (AP) -- In three months, West Virginians will need to dial 10 digits even if they're calling an upstairs neighbor, but awareness may be slow to take hold.

Why didn't they just give a certain area a new area code, instead of making the whole state dial 10 digits. Wouldn't that have freed up enough numbers?

Why in the world will everyone need to dail 10 dig. just because of adding a new area code. This makes more sense " but then I Wv didn;t over pay someone to come up with a bad idea. Is when dailing the new code is all you need. WV should take a look at Ohio . When WV had dif area codes only time you needed to dail area code was when calling outside yours. Thank you Jim Kernd.
