Thanks dgsmitty.
I am aware of the extensive SO local calling area but I find it strange since both PC and SO are run by the same carrier yet this difference.
When I explain to people the SO local calling area, they frankly don't believe me.
I would still like someone to physically try a long distance call 905-416-519 codes and confirm that this is a long distance charge on PC (Petro-Canada) phone.
Thanks
IKE

Ikecanada: did you ever find out if Petro Canada has the extended local calling areas?

It is the main reason I went with SO since I live in 519 area near Orangeville.

I also spoke to PC customer service and she didn't understand the notion that a local calling area can extend beyond the area codes. She didn't seem all that knowledgeable was annoyed.

Can anyone with a PC phone please call 905 to 416 to 519 to see if there is long distance charge.
Thanks

I'm going to 7-11 today to find out what they can tell us. I'll update later.

I just spoke with customer service for Petro-Canada Mobility and she told me their local call grid for 519 included only 519/226. Any users out there that can confirm which is correct?? My Bell Mobility prepaid runs out within a week so I would appreciate the help in making my decision PCM or Speakout.
