Beginning Saturday, September 19, residents in the 843 area code, which includes Dillon, must begin dialing the area code along with the phone number. This applies to landlines and cell phones and local calls. So, for example, if you needed to call The Dillon Herald office, you will no longer be able to dial just 774-3311, you must dial 843-774-3311. The cost of making a call will be the same, but you will have to dial the area code with the phone number.
