^ew Dialing Systetn
Direct Distance Dialing, the fast way to call long distance, will be introducted to Huntley tele¬ phones customers late in 1964, an¬ nounced Ed Anderson, Illinois Bell manager.
Direct Distance Dialing or 'DDD' allows a telephone user to dial his own station-to-station calls direct to more than 83 million phones in the United States and Canada, the manager said. With DDD, phoning across the country is almost as fast as dialing across the street.
Anderson noted that in order to bring Direct Distance Dialing to Huntley, certin equipment rear¬ rangements in the Huntley tele¬ phone office must be made wiiich will cause some telephone numbers to be changed.
The customers whose numbers will be changed are being notified this week by letter.
The new numbers wiil go into effect next July and will i>e listed in the 1964-65 Hwgey Telephcme Directories comn^B out at the same time. ^^
DDD is possible because the Un- *T' ited States and Canada are divided into nwre than 100 telephone areas — each with its own 3-figure Area Code. Huntley's Area Code is 312, which also includes most of the Chicago metropolitan  area.
Anderson explained that to call .555-2368 in San Francisco, for ex¬ ample, a customer using DDD would simply dial the figure "1", which routes his call to the DDD equipment, then "415," the Area Code for San Francisco and 555- 2368.
After the call has been dialed, an operator will come on the line and ask the caller for the number of the phone he is calling from.
"Our automatic recording equip¬ ment will note all details al)out a call necessary for biUing except the calling numl)er. That's why th^ op¬ erator must ask for that nuniber before the call can be ctrnipleted," the  manager  said.
With this change, Huntley cus¬ tomers will also be able to dial dir¬ ect to Chicago and surrounding suburl>e in the 312 Area by simply dialing "1" and the tele^rfione num¬ ber.
Even with IX>D, operators wiil Cbntinued on Back Page
