Is 289 considered a out of province number?

My public mobile is a 647 number and I was trying to call a 289 number in Pickering and I get a voice message saying I will be subjected to additional charges. Why is that?

Hi @Greyjay

 

@Just put 1 in front of all your contact list.  Ex. 1-289......

Oh and BTW @Greyjay I do not have the long distance add on and it does let me proceed with the phone call to other area codes in the same province...

Because the system still recognize the area codes... You will hear the message but your phone call will go through with no extra charges... The same thing happens to me calling from a 780 number (Edmonton) phoning a 403 number (Red Deer/ Calgary)...
