Important Information About Dialing Changes

Customers are now required to change the way they dial calls within the Maine (207) area code. This change is due to North America running out of number combinations. You can choose 7 or 11 digit dialing. If you do not make a choice your service will default to the 7 digit dialing.

With 7 digit dialing it will not be necessary to dial the "1"+207 prior to making a long distance in-state call. Long distance calls will be made the same way a local call is made. It will no longer be necessary to dial the "1". Toll charges will apply to all calls made outside of the local calling area. (Please see local calling area page for more information on this.)

With 11 digit dialing it will be necessary to dial the "1"+207 prior to making a long distance in-state call. Long distance in-state calls, with 11 digit dialing, will be dialed as you would dial a call going out of the state.

*All Rockland calls must be dialed using only 7 digits.

Emergency Calls reminder:

If you currently dial "1" + the 7 digit number to reach police, fire or other emergency service providers, please remember that you will have to dial "1" + 207 + the 7 digit number on these calls if you have chosen the 11 digit dialing. If you have the 7 digit dialing please remember to dial only the 7 digits. Do not dial "1".

911 will continue to work the same as it does today.
