@Anndeecobb by adding a 1 in front of the number that would solve the problem.
FYI Its the second set of numbers that determine whether your number is local or not. Ie xxx yyy xxxx. Please check the CNAC website to check if your number is local or not http://www.cnac.ca/co_codes/co_code_status.htm . Personally, I would leave it amd dial 1 + 10 digit number and save it in my contacts. If it bothers you, you can change your number to the desired local area code once each 30 day cycle through your self service account.
Changing the phone number of the account making the outgoing calls won't change if a call is long distance or not for cellular service. The number that the outgoing caller has is irrelevant. For outgoing calls, only the location where the calls is being placed is compared to the destination number.
Example: a Public Mobile customer with a Vancouver phone number making a call while in Toronto to a Toronto phone number would result in a local call and there would be no "long distance charges may apply message". That's true of any carrier, even if the plan doesn't include provincial or Canada-wide calling.
