When calling a Minnesota phone number from outside the area code, you must dial the full 10-digit number: the 3-digit area code followed by the 7-digit local number. Many parts of Minnesota now require 10-digit dialing even for local calls due to overlay area codes and the nationwide 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline implementation.
