Long Distance Or Not??

[The Godfather]

I live in Suwanee,GA, Gwinnett County. Calling to Atlanta, Cobb County isn't long distance. But we use the 770,678,404 telephone codes. Calling to Savannah in another county with a prefix of 912.. is that long distance?? It is still in my state.

 

[Scouzer]

dial without the area code

if its long distance it wont let you

 

[isekii]

why dont you ask your phone company or check your telephone book.

 

[The Godfather]

Thanks Scouzer! I dial without the 1 infront and it lets me. That means it isn't long distance correct?

 

[The Godfather]

HMM It says: ANNOYING NOISE We're sorry, when you are trying to make a local call it is now necessary for the area code and a 7 digit nubmer. what does this mean?

 

[The Godfather]

I command you to tell me!!!!!!

That depends on your telecommunications carrier.

But in general, if you do not have to dial a 1, then it is not long distance.

It may, however, be "extended local calling" - which is not free, but is usually cheaper than long distance.

If your local calling area includes multiple area codes, then you must also dial the area code if you are calling outside of your own area code.... most of the time.

That does *not* mean you must dial the 1 in front of the area code.

Unless you have unlimited long distance Gwinett to savannah is long distance.
Atlanta locals are:
770, 678, 404, 470 and some 706, 256

Except he is calling Savannah which is not local. He has to dial 1-912-xxx-xxxx

Because you suck at getting a long distance package?

Look in the phone book. It shows what is local.

Are you sure you don't have a long distance package?

 

[The Godfather]

I DO. But i dont want to charge my parents for it. And i wanna talk as much as i want with my friend without having to worry about it.

 

[The Godfather]

......

 

[GeekDrew]

Well if you want want to charge your parents for it, then buy a calling card. OneSuite is a 1-800 proxy (similar to cards) for <$0.02/minute, IIRC.

Here in Minneapolis, we have 612, 763, and 651 which are all local calls but different area codes. The phone company simply ran out of numbers with the advent of cell phones and pagers. Check your phone book. If it's in your local phone book then it'll probably be in your local calling area and not be considered long distance for billing purposes.

 

[wiredspider]

totally depends, in my little tiny state of DE, we only have 302, but seperate counties, calls to the other counties count as toll calls! cost more than even just regular long distance calls!

Why don't you use voice chat?
