No. You may have to add the 1 then the area code like making a long distance call, but it is considered and charged as a local call.

Speakout Wireless' local calling area is MUCH bigger than any other provider.

For instance, I am in Niagara Falls. I recently went up to Sauble Beach, Goderich, Southampton and lots of other towns up north. Every call I made (even back to Niagara Falls) was charged as a local call.

No, you are not charged long distance using a 416 or 647 area code phone in Brampton. I do this all the time. You could be charged roaming or LD if you call from further away such as Caledon or Milton, though.

Caledon and Milton would be considered local calls as well. Speakout doesn't go by cities when determining local and LD calls, but what area code is being called (or being called from).

For instance I am in Niagara Falls, and my cell phone is a 289 area code, but all these area codes for me are considered a local call:

289 416 647 519 226 905

That includes the golden horseshoe, and all the way west to Windsor, and north to Tobermory.
