With the unlimited provincial talk plan will long distance charges apply if I am out of my province and I check my voicemail?

On a similar note, whenever I call my voicemail (613-581-4001 since I'm in Ottawa) it shows up as "Subway" on my phone.
I'm on a Galaxy S7 Edge and I'm guessing that number is somehow registered to Subway in Samsung's database? I know this isn't really PM's fault but just curious if anyone else has this "issue".
It's kinda funny cause my workplace (Carleton U) shows up as Tim Hortons.

@Jiangjun1949that number with the 4001 is everybody's voice mail number. Only the first 6 digits are different.

Since data is Canada wide, I have installed calling aps such as Fongo and Hangouts...
From there you just call your voice mail #, like in my case if there is voice mail notification on your cell phone, I open Fongo and dial 613-581-4001, then you will enter your PIN and listen to your messages. You will be saving your minutes this way and get hear your voice messages 😉
There is always things to work around. Sharing with caring .. lol
There are all sorts of workarounds, thanks for identifying some options. Personally, I use google voice because my Canadian number is registered in my google account. Unfortunately, many customers are not fully adept with using these alternatives. So, they will end up using the phone call route and incurring long distance charges. Anyway, I put in a suggestion to use a toll free number for voice mail for the benefit of everyone.

I just checked my forwarding number for voice mail. It is a 647 number and I am in the GTA. So, it looks like long distance charges apply when leaving the home province.
