landline calling my cell

A friend from a landline had to enter 1 before calling me. He lives in a couple communities away and it has never been long distance before. Why suddenly is my number long distance? I picked a number close to their community.

Would calling landline to landline result in a long distance call? When you chose your number you picked one for that area?

What rate centre (city) is your firend calling from and what city does your phone number belong to? Since you say you picked a number in a closeby community (but not exactly the same), it is quite possible that this really is a long distance call.

Hi. I was able to figure it out myself. Thanks for the offer. I realized that I had picked a number that was long distance. When I first enrolled, there were no local #'s available. When I went back in, there were a few, so I picked them. Now it works fine.

Thanks, I figured it out. It was the area code that was available at the time I enrolled. I have been able to choose another number. Thanks for the thought.
