Wow. I'm 44 and I remember the switch from seven digit dialing to ten digits but we already moved past four digits in my area before I was born. Unless you're talking about the prefix being the same for the whole city, like everything started with 262-XXXX so you only had to remember the four at the end?
Oh yes, for clarity, the first 3 digits were the same for everyone, so we didn't have to think about them. Haha, well after the official change from 4 to 7 digits.
Ah, gotcha
