Otherwise, read on.
North America
- A call to another North American C*NET member will be 8 digits long, in the format 1-NNX-XXXX.
(The leading "1" is our country code). - New office codes will be assigned as 1-NNX, and NOT 1-NXX.
Simply what this means is that we don't want to assign office codes that look like the original area codes.
("N" is any number 2 through 9, and "X" is any number.) -
Unless you need a block of 10,000 numbers, be frugal and reserve 1,000 at a time.
For instance, I could claim ALL of office code 499, but it'd be more polite if I just reserved 499-2XXX and 499-3XXX. That leaves the other 8,000 assignments available for others.
With those few rules in mind, click here to reserve your office code on C*NET.
