The "437" area code thing seems to be a bouncing ball. The problems change periodically and sometimes by locations.
#1. Right now, while in down town Toronto, I dial 10-digits (no "1" prefix) to a 437 PM number from a 437 PM number an intercept recording kicks in saying long distance charges may apply and completes the call. No sure but I think this recording is a "Bell" thing under the Belus tower sharing. At other in-Toronto locations is completes the call without the intercept recording.
#2. For quite a while now, any call to a PM 437 number takes 6 - 10 seconds to get to a ringing state. Conversely, a call from PM 437 to a ROGERS 437 number completes in under 2 seconds. I can repeat this over and over at all times of the day and night on multiple phones (apple and android) and PM SIMs under solid coverage. Even on a PM 437 from a PM 437 that has just hung up from each other the redial will still take --at a minimum-- twice as long as a call to any other [non-telus] carrier's 437.
There has to be a routing issue in the network/switch programming that #1 doesn't see the 437 as local. So called, "toll switching" occurs (albeit to a $0.00 affect). This round the toll switch/gateways tripping may be the reasons for the long call setup times. Dunno.
A switch tech really needs to engage this.
Calls that take too long to setup bounce into voice jail (due to unreachable, not unanswered status) resulting in lost calls.
Help, please!
