Can't call 310 numbers

[LucasFrost]

I'm trying to call 310-6789 and keep getting "Public mobile here. Sorry, your number can't be completed as dialled. Please try again."

The number is legit - there is no area code. It's for mental health services in BC. I've tried adding area codes suggested in other public mobile forum posts but they didn't work.

What do I have to do to be able to call this number?

@LucasFrost 

for non emergency, try this :  1-866-872-0113

and just some background:

310-xxxx are  special numbers and suppose  will be dialed 'intelligently' without requiring an areacode.  Not just PM but some cellphone companies don't recognize 310 numbers at all or not able to calls successfully all the time

Thank you for your response - the number I was looking for was the non-emergency line, I was hoping to avoid tying up the crisis line but I'll give it a shot and see if they can transfer me

I appreciate you getting back to me

You're all good - I recognized it as a joke and I'm not upset just having a difficult day. Thank you for getting back to me
