Long-distance Telephone Calls To call a long-distance telephone number you must dial:
1 + the area code + the telephone number.
Short-distance Telephone Calls Some telephone numbers, although they may be prefixed with the same
area code as your home telephone number, may be outside of your local
calling area. If you dial a number and, instead of reaching your party, you
hear a recording which says “you must first dial a ‘1’ with this number”, the
number you are calling is outside of the local calling area. To place the call,
you must dial 1 + the area code + the telephone number. You must dial the
area code in this case, even if it is the same as your own.
Collect Telephone Calls If the person you are calling will agree to pay for the charges, you may
place a collect telephone call. To place this kind of call dial 0 + the area code
+ the telephone number. An operator will come on the line and ask you for
your name. Then the operator will ask the party you are calling if they will
accept the charges for your call.
