It depends. Where I live we have to use all ten digits even for local

calls. But (from a landline) we don't have to prefix the ten-digit

number with a "1" unless we're calling an out-of-the-area number. You

may live in an area where you only need seven digits, and dialing ten

digits for a local number won't work.

You need to find out the rules in your area. Check the front pages of

your phone book, or call the pone company or check their web site

(good luck!).
