The phone number for LA Weight Loss is 310 LOSE.
I was voicing the commercials this week and immediately made the number 604-310-LOSE in accordance with the 10 digit dialing we’ve had in Metro Vancouver for a few years now.
Then I was told we didnt need area codes with 310. Weird. Go ahead, try it .. dial 310-LOSE and see what happens… you get through! Try not dialing the area code with any other number and you get that friendly recorded voice.
It’s not unique to LA Weight Loss, the entire 310 exchange is area code-less. 310-1010 and 310-0001 are pizza numbers. 310-TAXI will get you a cab, and they’re free local calls wherever you are in Canada, no area code needed.
Seven-digit phone numbers beginning with 310 (e.g. 310-7890) will still exist under the 10-digit system. These are generally for businesses or government services. 310- numbers are toll-free. [source]
Cool.

Interesting. I had no idea. Maybe that’s why my VOIP would error out every time I 10-digit dialed 310 #’s. I should have RTFM.
Funny that they chose a 310 number. Like you, I’ve mostly seen it used for fast food chains. White Spot, Pizza Hut, Panago, etc.
Also: Nice work getting the sponsor mentioned there.
