A phone call question?

Question

I live in a (910) area and I'm trying to call a cellular phone that begins with (919), but when i call, it doesnt go through. Why does'nt it work?

Answer 1

You need to dial a 1 before the 919.

So it would be 1-919-***-****

Answer 2

It should work if you are dialing 11 numbers: 1 + area code + phone number.  If it doesn't work, maybe you have the wrong area code.
