When I first took the phone service from Birmingham Cable (back in '96), they used to send the full number (including area code) for all incoming calls. They stopped sending the area code for local calls via Caller I.D. probably around 2003.
If you store your local numbers without the area code into your handset, then the Caller I.D. will match the name stored.
When calling from a standard landline you do not need to dial the area code for local calls; i.e. in Birmingham we just dial the 7 digit local number, not the 0121. The cost of the call will be no different whether you dial the area code or not.
