STARTING MAY 3, 2014 TEN DIGIT DIALING REQUIRED
Starting May 3rd, in order to make a local call in Southern Nevada, you will need to add 702 to EVERY call, making it a 10 digit call.
No, you don’t have to add a 1 before the 702.
For Example: you will dial 702-xxx-xxxx
Yes it’s a hassle. Yes it’s a pain. The fact is, we ran out of numbers for Southern Nevada. So they will be adding a BRAND NEWW area code for Southern Nevada starting in June. And that area code will be 725.

It’s going to take time to get use to the new dialing procedures. In a few weeks most everyone will be over the hump. With growth in any city, CHANGE is not to far behind.
Dial Away!
