The Dallas Fort Worth telephone system now requires 10-digit dialing. To place a local call, dial the local area code (214, 972, or 817) without prefixing these area codes with a 1. Unfortunately, depending upon where you are, some numbers within the 214, 972, or 817 areas may be a long distance call. You do need to dial 1 if it is. There's simply no hard and fast rule! Visit the Southwestern Bell site or the North American Numbering Plan Administration site for additional information. These are interesting sites, but we've not found much definitive information for visitors trying to dial a phone number in Dallas! If you find it, let us know!
