Beginning March 31, Orange County residents will no longer be able to dial local numbers without first dialing the area code.

While it will be necessary to dial 919, it will not be necessary to dial a one or zero to reach local numbers.

County residents are urged to update auto-dialing systems, cell phone contacts and alarm systems. Emergency services can still be reached through 911.
