Well, I did not specifically address this point in my post for
a reason. I no longer consider it universal, or taken for
granted that the original charter of the North American
Numbering Plan(NANP) is adhered to these days. This is for a
variety of reasons, many are political. For example, where I
live in the People's Republic of Northern Virginia:
http://nanpa.planet.net/area_code_maps/display.shtml?va
We have two overlaid area codes that exist in one geographic
area. This has the effect of making it *mandatory* now to dial
a 10 digit number in the DC metro area. Southern Maryland is
no different. If you are dialing an adjacent region call with
a 10 digit dial string and you cannot connect, you will get the
dreaded message from the Communist East German Phone Operator
stating that you must dial a "1" before your number. This is
the worst of all possible worlds. It is not a local call
(generally free with basic service), and it is not a low cost
long distance call (5-7cents per minute), it is the dreaded
intrastate call. Most of the ILECs have massive price gouging
going on in intrastate tariff rates. The bottom line is you
have to dial the minimum number of digits prescribed by your
locality and its dial plan.
Since I noticed that your e-mail domain is from the pacific
School of Religion out in the SF Bay Area, and the area code in
question is from the Tyler, Texas area, I can only presume that
you used to live there and you are familiar with the local dial
plan:-)
As it turns out, your assertion is correct: Tyler, Texas is in
a 7 digit dial plan area:

That would be that dreaded intrastate call I mentioned :-)
