Long Distance Calling
Direct Dial (Less Expensive)
Direct Dial
Dialing instructions within the 530 Area Code
have changed.
By dialing your own long distance calls, you will pay
the lowest rate and pay for only the time you talk.
To Place a Direct-Dial Call:
• Within the 530 Area Code, dial 7-digit
Telephone Number only
• Outside the 530 Area Code, dial 1 + Area
Code + Telephone Number
Cal-Ore Telephone is in the Chico/
Redding Service Area. The Chico/
Redding Service Area is part of the 530
Area Code.
If the community and number (Prefix) you want
to call is not listed in the Service Area section
of this guide, that community may be outside
of your Service Area. Check with your “0”
Operator for specific community Service Area.
Area Codes identify geographic calling areas.
To find the Area Codes, see the Long Distance
Area Codes.
To use a long distance company instead of your
presubscribed carrier for your Service Area toll
calls, you will need to dial that company’s access
code before you dial each outgoing toll call (i.e.
101 + access code + telephone number). This
also applies to interstate toll calls that you want
carried by another long distance company.
