## Ten-digit dialing

Prior to October 2021, area code 361 had telephone numbers assigned for the [central office code](/source/Central_office_code) 988. In 2020, *988* was designated nationwide as a dialing code for the [National Suicide Prevention Lifeline](/source/National_Suicide_Prevention_Lifeline), which created a conflict for exchanges that permit [seven-digit dialing](/source/Seven-digit_dialing). This area code was therefore scheduled to transition to [ten-digit dialing](/source/Ten-digit_dialing) by October 24, 2021.[1]
