Comment:In reference to the article about adding a new area code and whether to use the
Geographic or the Split method:
(FYI -I live in Alaska where we will eventually have this issue,but my heart belongs to
Idaho).
Use both methods.And while you’re at it save future resources by adding a third area code.
All New phone numbers in the lower half of the state get one new area code while all New
phone numbers in the upper half of the state get the other new area code.Eventually the 208
will fade away (50÷ years from now)and then become available for future use as needed.

Comment:Future assigning of phone area codes.I support a geographic division for area code
assignment.I realize that southern Idaho would most likely retain the retain the 208 area
code--but Ive experienced area code changes twice in other states and it is only a brief
inconvenience compared to keeping track of area codes in your neighborhood.Constant use of
area codes is also a great inconvenience.

Comment:I recommend geographic split for the new area code,as opposed to geographic
overlay.Geographic overlay would cause more confusion about the location of callers in
business communications,as well as mandating the recording of peoples area codes in rural
areas where it is not required now.I feel this would outweigh the difficulty of people in
the new area code having to change numbers,which is a short term issue.

Comment:I support the use of mixed phone numbers to add the new area code.We added more
than one new area code in Colorado when I lived there and we used the overlay/mix process.It
worked just fine.Learning to dial 10 numbers as needed is much easier than it seems.Far
easier process than a geographic split.

Comment:I think that is a good idea to add an additional area code with plenty of time
before it is needed.I would prefer to see a geographical split rather than an overlay.An
overlay would create confusion as to whether a phone number is long distance versus a local
number.I think that it would create problems with people thinking that they are calling a
local number but then having charges on their phone bill.I know that have a geographical
split would be a bit of headache initially as certain people would have to get used to a new
number but that confusion would be short term.

Comment:This is a comment in reference to the probable addition of a second area code in
Idaho.From the newspaper article this morning,it appears that the preference is for an
overlay,meaning new service would receive the new area code,while all existing service
would the 208 area code.As a result,everyone would have to dial all 10 digits,even if you
call your next door neighbor.
I am opposed to the overlay.The division should be geographical.As a north Idaho resident
and business owner,I do not mind going to a new area code.The cost and bother is no
different than it was when I moved my office from Coeur d’Alene to Post Falls.I had to have
a new phone number,so I got new business cards and modified my websites and letterhead.My
customers/clients caught on very fast.The cost was minimal and,in this case,where we have
years to prepare,the bother will probably be much less.With the overlay,however,the
bother will be permanent.Right now,if I call Boise,I have to dial a “1’.Under the
overlay system,as I understand it,I will still have to dial a “1”for long distance in
Idaho.The trouble is,I won’t know if I have to dial a “1”for numbers with the new area
code.If it’s my next door neighbor,I wont.If it’s a new number in Boise,yes.And this
will continue forever.The short term inconvenience of switching over geographically is much
much better than the permanent problems an overlay will cause.With the geographical system,
I will know that a 208 area code will be in a certain part of the state and the new area code
will be in another.At a glance.
I strongly oppose an overlay system and urge the commission to use a geographic system,and I
am willing to accept the new area code in north Idaho.After all,there are two time zones
in Idaho,based on geography.The area codes could follow the time zones.

Comment:Leave all existing 208 numbers in the state at that any new numbers after they run
out of numbers for that area code then only the new code numbers would need to have the 10
digets dialed.not any with 208.Why cant that be done.

Comment:I believe they should assign new area codes to the north half of the state of Idaho.
While it is an inconvenience to change everything for businesses there are fewer people
impacted by this in the north than in the south where Boise is.
I have lived in 10 digit dialing states and it is very frustrating having to remember what a
persons area code is.This can also delay important calls when you dial one way and get a
recording instead of through who you might need to in a non 911 situation.
I live in north Idaho.I would rather learn a new area code to tell people when I give out
my number and still dial 7 digits when calling friends,neighbors and businesses in my area.

Comment:I DO NOT think an overlay is a good idea,it makes NO sense.It would be smarter to
pick a smaller area(s)of the state NOT where the population is centered and change the area
code in those areas.People will adjust,but making everyone everywhere dial long distance
and an area code across the state is just ridiculous.California did this successfully and
did not do an overlay,but changed specific smaller town/city area codes,so people don’t
have to dial an area code in their own city.1m sure others have done the same successfully.
Rather than make everyone across the state suffer an impact,it would be much wiser to do a
geographic split and make say all of northern Idaho on a different area code and the
population center and southern Idaho keeps the current area code.
