In my area, they started using the 7 digits dialing for local calls. So, I
did create a "Local" worksite. I set my area code to 703 but to force the
dialing of the 703 exchange code, I also set the dialing prefix to 703.
Obviously, if you do that, you'll have to create another worksite when
you're making a long distance call. But that's manageable.
