if someone from the same state as u but different county calls u is that considered long distance?

Answer 1

In many states, yes. Can't speak for all of them. In DE and NJ, it is. It's called "intrastate" long distance. If you have to dial the area code to make the call, chances are it is long distance.

Answer 2

In northern MN, it's all the same area code, but there are at least 20 counties. I live approximately 75 miles from where I grew up. Calling there, even though I'm in the same county, is long distance. It varies by phone carrier, I know that, too.

Answer 3

YES! It all depends on your phone company's (LEC) dialing plan (interLATA and LATA plan). Sometimes you can be long distance calling your neighbor across the street. IOW if you lived in Enfield CT you could call Springfield MA. However, if you wanted to call East Longmeadow MA which is closer it would be a toll call.

In Southwick MA on the border is Suffield CT. So there are literally neighbors across the street who are in next state. It is a toll call. This is because the LECs are AT&T (SBC) and NYNEX. Ever since government deregulation and the breaking up of the ma' bell (AT&T) monopoly everything is confusing now... Even 911 is screwed up today...

Answer 4

Totally depends upon area you are living in. Bigger metro areas have larger calling area which encompasses multiple counties, even multiple states which is considered local. For example area code 301, 240 (multiple counties in MD) 202 (DC) 703 (Va) are local but not all 301 to 301, 703 to 703 are local.

yes because if i am not in the same county i have to dial 1 then the area code and number
