If I call Arizona from a New Jersey house phone, is it considered long distance and will I get charged?

Question

Verizon house phone from New Jersey to Arizona cell phone

Answer 1

Quite simply any call that goes out of state is long distance, calls within state are national calls with in your area are local, and unless you have a package where you get free long distance calls then yes you would be charged

Answer 2

O.K. read my lips.

Is Arizona in the same AREA CODE as NEW JERSEY? I think NOT. Hence ANY call from New Jersey to Arizona or Arizona to New Jersey is by definition LONG DISTANCE and charges will apply to the CALLER. If you call using your cell phone you will be charged minutes. The receiver will NOT.

The cell phone user will be charged minutes regardless. Check the VERIZON plan to see what is allowed. I know the AT&T routine but there are many plans from other carriers.

Answer 3

If you can throw a rock from your house in NJ to Arizona then it's not long distance.

What i would do is get 2 empty string bean can's and some string. Just do away with the middle man.

Answer 4

Yes it is considered long distance, and you will be charged extra, but if your phone deal includes long distance then you won't.
P.S. If you do not have a long distance deal on your phone, then get one, it really save you money if you make lots of long distance phone calls.

Answer 5

Yes,

Even if the Arizona cell phone is in the same house you are calling from it is still long distance.

Answer 6

It all depends on the calling plan you are signed up with, typically yes it is long distance. BUT most calling plans these days give you all of North America included. There are some bargain plans still available through your local carrier for those who don't really need it. Check your calling plan to see if you get all of US and Canada.

Answer 7

Yes it is long distance and yes you will get charged for the call.

Answer 8

It really depends on your phone plan. I have unlimited long distance coverage, therefore I am charged a flat rate no matter where I call nationwide.

Answer 9

Yes. Any area code not listed as being in your vicinity is considered long distance if you call from a land line.

Answer 10

It depends on which Verizon "calling plan" you have. In all likely hood, you will be charged between 5 and 10 cents per minute. Some plans allow unlimited calling within the U.S., so you'd have to check which plan to be sure.

If it was a Verizon to Verizon cell phone call, you would not use up any of the "free" monthly minutes... Furthermore, if you use a cell phone on the weekend, it should be free for any call within the U.S.
