It is still ten months away, but Campbellford and Warkworth residents will have to dial ten numbers before making a phone call..
The C-R-T-C has opted for the three extra numbers to pave the way for a new 2-4-9 area code, because phone numbers within the 705 area code are getting used up.
Canadian Numbering Administrator Glenn Pilley says having to dial 7-0-5 and the other seven numbers, starting in January, will also involve reprogramming some equipment around the house and office.
