Perhaps "held some hours ago", or "held some years ago"?

We (in a fairly small population state) have had to dial 10 numbers for a looong time.

We are getting an area code overlay. So, I will have to call 1+ 3-digit
area code+ 7-digit number; regardless of which area code I am calling to,
or from.

Ahem, it was 7 digits after the AREA code by the 60's, and 4 digits within an exchange still worked locally in parts of Southern Ontario well into the 70's. But since the 60's it'a ALWAYS been 10 digits after the country code if you called from overseas, or after dialing the long distance access code.

We do have it here (407/321), and you don't have to dial 11 digits
(including the 1), but "only" 10.

We have one area here where the local telco is still privately held completely independent of Ma and all other Bells. They have been 1+ten always because they are different. a call to and from within the area was still a 5 digit dial up until the mid to late 80's. They also still had the old honky sounding dial tone through that time as well.

I miss the days of standardization. We dial 402 XXX-XXXX where we used to just dial 7. We have long had to dial 1 402 for toll points in the area.

If you called a 209, 415, 530, 650, or 916 area code, do you have to dial
"1" first? We have long had that requirement; but I recall dimly a time
when we did not.

Back in the day, the "1" thing was driven by two forces, I think.
Early on, not every dial office had what it took to do toll calls so the "1" sent your call to an office that could, instead of being handled by "your" office.
And some PUCs required it toe "warn" the "unwary" that they were making an expensive call.

That is still reasonable, because a long distance plan does cost more on real land lines (the ones subject to regulation).
Also there are still places (particularly out west) where calls within your area code are long distance and can't be reached without dialing 1 first.
I wouldn;t be surprised if Wyoming still has one area code and that a call from Cheyenne to Jackson Hole is still a LD call.

I always found it odd that if i need to dial a 1 and didn't, i get a message saying "you need to dial a 1 when placing this call", and if i did dial a 1 when i didn't need to to i'd get a message saying "you do not need to dial a 1 when placing this call". Good grief! If the phone company already knows whether it's long distance or not, why do they have to have me tell them? Idiotic.
When i dumped Verizon and signed up with Vonage one of the comments in their welcome pack was, "you never need to dial a 1 when placing calls, because we're just nice like that."

Not entirely, You might complain, and be within you're rights if you got unexpected LD bills so it is self protection for the phone company.

More like:
1) There is no notion of long distance billing within the continentral Canada and USA, so there is no need.
2) It's VOIP, unregulated. except for any internet related regulation.
3) No requirement to keep a reverse charging system (remember collect calls?) , It's uregulated.
4) They don't have to maintain any public access points (Pay Phones) New York and New Jersey have been rediscovering those things lately.
5) No up time requirements in the event of widespread power failure or other disruptions.
6) I've never lost phone service (land line) for any significant period of time. Even during extended power outages (up to 2 weeks), This is because of the regulations that among other things require large banks of batteries powering the phone system. Next time a big hurricane hits your neighbourhood, try to connect to to Vonage after 2 days without power, or if you are lacking a generator.
ATT and Verizon are desperately scrambling to get their customers onto VOIP (U-Verse in ATT-land) in order to duck out of the still regulated land line business. Regulated in part because it is deemed to be part of the defense infrastructure.

With my Verizon crackberry, I put 1 npa xxx-xxxx in the directory for everything--it and the tower work out what they need.
Cox Cable, not so much--seems like it was as i was with US Worst--you have to guess just right of get a yer a dummy recording.

There are only four Bells that I know of (including Cincinnati Bell); and
none of them is Ma. She is long dead, and a long way from resurrection.

My landline LD is not extra from local. Both, together, are
$19.97+regulatory fees and taxes.

The current "AT&T" is just SBC re-branded. Nothing like the original,
except in name.

"SBC" was one of the RBOCs (splinters from ol' Harolds hammer blow). It was formed from the joining divesting splitering of what had been Southwestern Bell.
It started buying up other splinters like Pacific Telesis Group (nee The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company (which owned Nevada Bell) and American Telephone And Telegraph. Of the later, not much was left but the name, which SBC chose for its own.

Apropos Blackberry. I rarely even receive spam via Blackberrys. Usually
when I placed test inquiries to gather more information about a (amateur)
spammer. If this happens the header also have some Blackberry-ID lines in
it. Is it possible [for another Blackberry user] to find out whom the
account really belongs? Or get other information about this Blackberry
customer?

Well, SBC did buy what was left of the original AT&T. The rebranding
of an owner with the name of an acquired subsidiary is not new;
consider the takeover of CDC.
