Tip of the Week

Insert a hyphen after the first three digits.
303-5413

When using the area code, use a hyphen (with no space on either side) between the two elements.
512-605-5454

The "1-" does not always need to be included.
Ex: Please call me at 1-800-545-5474.
But: My number is 800-545-7547.
("1-" is not part of the number; itīs just something you have to dial.)
