Yes, and the reverse should be true also: "You must dial a '1' in front of the phone number. Please hang up and try again."Well, if they know I need a "1", why not just add it themselves and go ahead and put my call through? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

timmyj 0 #9 August 13, 2009 Here in Nova Scotia,Canada my cell with Bell Aliant does that automatically. All the numbers stored are local but if I am out of the area a message comes on saying " this is a long distance number, charges will apply" I would have thought this was standard, but I guess not.
