Re: At 7 bytes per stored phone number

The 20th Century called. It wants your misconceptions about places you've obviously never been back.

To my knowledge, pretty much everywhere in the US requires you to dial the full 10 digits, and sometimes you need the 1 prefix on top of that, so 11 digits. There might be some places where you can still dial just 7 digits. I suspect those are mostly in the rural parts of Red States populated mostly with Trump voters who think the Earth is flat, the 1969 moon landing was a CIA fake job, and Steve Bannon really knows his shit.
