SALT LAKE CITY-- The switch to 10-digit dialing is looming this weekend, and a lot of people may not be ready for it.

Instead of the usual seven digits, we're supposed to be dialing 10, but it looks like a lot will still be trying to dial seven.

Your current number won't change. The 385 is an overlay.

The Public Service Commission has been concerned this will take people by surprise. They've tried to get the message out.

The switch is happening Sunday whether people know it or not.
