landline calling my cell

[cw1964]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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