Mandatory 10-digit Local Dialing Starts Oct. 24, 2021
Posted on Oct 19, 2021 in Hot TopicsThe Division of Consumer Advocacy would like to remind you that the mandatory 10-digit local dialing will start on October 24, 2021. All local calls, including those on the same island, will require that you dial area code 808 before the telephone number.
It’s coming after the Federal Communications Commission adopted 988 as the new three-digit nationwide number to get in touch with the National Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. That number will be activated on July 16, 2022.
