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!

I love how this works... Inter-state calls are regulated by federal govt and have certain rates. Intra-state calls are regulated by your state and have entirely different rates.

At one point, I had a 6c/min plan for a while which was great until I realized that 50% of my calls were in-state, and the rate was 10c/min. I called and complained and they basically said "our advertised rates only apply to inter-state calls".

A third type of call is "local toll call" which is basically "not local, but also not long distance". These calls are usually billed at a specific flat charge PER CALL rather than per minute. Depending on how long you talk, this can be good or bad -- in South Florida, it was $0.25 to call say Fort Lauderdale from Miami, which was good for 1hr call, and bad for 1 minute call...

dial without the area code

if its long distance it wont let you

Not always true. In my place, you have to dial every number with the area code.
