Q: How do I set my dialup modem for use with mandatory ten-digit dialing?
A:
As of January 1st, 2010, The state of Oregon will start to require 10 digit dialing on all outgoing calls. This is due to the addition of the new 458 area code in Oregon that will be sharing the same region as the 541 area code. If you are having difficulties establishing a dialup connection, check to make sure they are now dialing the 10 digit number because as of January 1st, 2010, 7 digit dialing will no longer work, and return an error upon attempting to connect. To ensure that your computer is set correctly, you can follow a series of step by step guides for the Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Macintosh OSX operating systems that EONI has created:
