I get calls daily from a local number. When I answer, it's a recording about "my cars extended warranty". I block the number and still receive daily calls. I answer because it's a local number. This has been going on almost a year. So that proves these predatory companies buy up bundles of numbers. I agree with everyone here. I get calls daily from a local number.

They are everything from telemarketers to women using disconnected numbers to hide their ID. If the phone companies would stop VOLP numbers , that would help everyone.

The reason being because local numbers will have two different area codes. 850-123-4567 would be local, but so would 448-123-4567. Using 10 digits tells the system which local number to go to. It's not a big deal. I've been using 10 digit dialing for over 20 years. You can dial all 10 digits right now if you want to go ahead and start getting used to it. @Niknak50 you are correct.
