According to AOL the best way to handle this situation is do the following:

Act as if you were still in the 602 area code and choose several numbers. Once you have done this, click on the Setup button on your sign-on screen. Next, click on Expert Setup which should reveal your current selections. Double-click on the first entry which will bring up an Edit Number screen. Add 602 to the beginning of the number in the "Edit Number here:" box, which will tell the AOL software to dial 10 digits. Click on OK and do the same for the remaining numbers in the list.
