Help is there a area code setting on the phone?

in my area code, i have to dial it before dialing a local number. is there a setting on the phone (evo4g) that will automatically place the area code infront of a 7 digit dialed number?

Don't think so .... What if the number doesn't start with your area code? What if you travel outside your area?

Just get into the habit of always dialing your area code before the number. After 2 years of doing it, I do it naturally now. Makes it hard when I use a landline, since the call won't go through with the area code.

And if you set contacts, it shouldn't matter anyway. You just type the area code once with the phone number, and you'll never have to bother with it again.

ya i am use to it now, but am also still lazy. on my treo 800w, i could just set the area code and any 7 digits dialed would auto insert the area code for me. such a great option.

if you travel out of the area code, like dialing another area code you still have to put in the number. its not a gps location tool, its a setting for the phone is what i am looking for
