I can't remember the last time I only had to dial 7 digits. I keep forgetting there are places in the US that don't require 10.
Were I live, not long ago, one only had to dial 5 digits for local calls.

New Iberia was like that at least until the late seventies, maybe longer

My number is Peachtree4-0012 or just wait till Edna comes on the line and tell her to connect you to me.

Yes they did. Local was 638 and then 0000. One just dialed 8 and then 0000. Now one has to dial the 638 full number.
