(Undated) — If you try to dial a local number without the 5-1-5 or 3-1-9 area codes, the call will not go through today (Monday). The F-C-C ordered the change to ensure callers don’t accidentally dial the designated three-digit abbreviated dialing code of 9-8-8 for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Calls dialed in the 5-1-5 and 3-1-9 area codes with the area code in them will not be completed. You may have to update your cellphone to add the area code to your contacts.
