will my home phone be charged if i call a cell phone that is in a different state?

Question

the cell phone is issued in my state, but the person travelled to another. we dont have long distance on our phone, is this considered long distance?

Answer 1

yes, because of the different area code!
just use a calling card, put the access number they give you on speed dial....and then dial the number....or use a pre-set 2 digit code....it takes only minutes to sign-up...and use only 10 dollars, you will loose nothing.....

Answer 2

Only the normal charges would apply if the phone number is considered local to your phone (local meaning that it has your area code & is considered a local number for you by the phone company). If someone in the other state was to call the cell phone, it would be considered a long distance call because the cell's number is not local to that persons area/state.

Use this website to determine if the number is local to you. It's for dial up numbers but the premise is the same.

Answer 3

if you call the cell phone from your home phone YES. Unless the cell phone in question is in the same area code as the home phone. the only thing is that the cell phone might be in a ROAMING area. if so, your cell phone will be charged with roaming rates. almost always these charges are high! Check the cell phone to see if it shows that its in roaming or not.

Answer 4

Yes but if you have an unlimited plan like I have that charges one rate every month, like 49.99, then it doesn't matter. You can call all over the place and not pay special rates for long distance. It costs me the same to call my neighbor or my friend in California, home phone or her cell.

Answer 5

Yes, you would be charged Long Distance on your home phone. Unless you subscribe to an unlimited LD plan, all out of area calls you make from your home phone are billable.

Answer 6

Your home phone would not get charged. The only charges you might incur will be if the cell phone is roaming and then the cell provider will charge for minutes used while in roaming.

Answer 7

If you don't have to dial the area code, it is not long distance.

Chances are, if the persons cell phone is issued in your state, and ordinarily you can call them free from your home phone, you should be able to call him for free.

Answer 8

Yes, as most people said. If you want to lower you calling bill you may consider calling cards or dialaround

Answer 9

Yes because it is different state. If you subscribe free US it is ok

Answer 10

different state = NO
-but different COUNTRY = YES
