How many of you Utahans are finding it ANNOYING to have to dial 1-801-XXX-XXXX or 1-385-XXX-XXXX to call anyone!? I know it is primarily the Realtors and other small business owners that wanted it this way. But GRRRRRR!
As a REALTOR I can see why one would prefer this. If you've spent years in the business and have purchased special numbers like 1-801-XXX-Home or any othermarketing gimmick it could be detrimental to your business to start all over with a different area code. All the business cards and letterhead to be replaces ect ect ect. So legislators thought it would be a briliant idea to let everyone keep thier number and just assign the new area code only to new numbers.
But what about the young and the elderly. How much more difficult is it going to be for them if I, as a young 25 year old, can't keep it strait? Does this bug anyone else?

Here in San Diego we have the same thing but with 619 or 858. You eventually get use to it.
Wow, that's pretty obnoxious but I would imagine it happens that way more then you think. Good luck with that! Ha! See you in a few days!
