CHICAGO - YOUR CALL CANNOT BE COMPLETED AS DIALED

872 exchange goes into effect tomorrow, Saturday, all land-line users in the City must dial the full 11-digit number to complete any local call!

You think I'm kidding?

Well, tomorrow the new addition of the area code "872" goes into effect as an overly across the existing "312" and "773", all landline users in the City of Chicago must dial the full 11- digit number ("1" plus the number) to complete any call.

Cell phone users can skip the "1" but will have to dial "872" before entering the "312" or "773" exchange. That means, you have to reprogram your listings!

Tomorrow will be real interesting day for everybody, I believe.
