519 area code

Where I'm from in Ontario, Cambridge, the area code is (and always has been) 519. In an upsetting turn of events Bell has decided to assign a 2nd area code to the area as it has grown to exceed the amount of numbers in the 519 area code. Because of this whenever dialing a local number we now have to dial 519 before the number.

The truly ironic part is that no one knows what the new area code will be, nor will it take affect til next year so right now dialing 10 digits for every call is not only annoying, but redundant.
