Da Bear says until the early Nineties his hometown only had to dial 5 digits: 5-xxxx. Nowadays, you have to dial the whole 265-xxxx. Bummer!

Heh...that happened here, too, though it was earlier...early eighties, I guess. I remember calling my friends using just five digits when I was pretty little - an 8 and then the phone number.

Yep. At the old place we only dialed 5 numbers until about 10 years ago. I know it went to 7 numbers after I married Dennis and that was in 1994.
