You may have noticed this already, but starting last weekend, the 518 area code prefix is now required when making local calls from Huletts. It is part of the transition to the new 838 area code which starts after September 19th in the 17 county region presently served by 518.
After September 19th, new phone numbers, will start with, and get the new 838 area code according to the Public Service Commission. Calls originating outside the local area will need the 1+area code + number.
