The Unofficial Speak Out Wireless Canada Consumer Page - Topic: Local call vs. long distance https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/local-call-vs-long-distance/ Simple:Press Version 5.7.5.3 Peter on Local call vs. long distance https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/local-call-vs-long-distance/#p3795 Technical service details https://www.speakoutwireless.ca/speak/technical-service-details/local-call-vs-long-distance/#p3795 This issue keeps coming up and different people report different results. I'm leaning towards concluding that it's a long distance call and that if you are charged local rates, you are lucky.

My phone has a 250 area code.

I'm currently in St. John's, NL, and called a local number here. I was charged 45 cents.

So SO define long distance as calling another area code other than yours, I guess.

I think one previous post here indicated this not to be correct - can anyone confirm for sure if out of your local area code it is still a local call. thanks
