in the US for business lines. Residential lines have a "free" local
calling area. However, business lines from an incumbent local exchange
carrier like SBC nearly always charge rates for 7-digit local calls,
usually, but not always based on mileage zones. Rates vary based on
the local carrier, time of day and the distance. Different rate
schemes apply in different parts of the country. Some use Zone Usage
Measured (ZUM) schemes, others use Flat Rate or Measured Rate schemes.
There are different rate plans for the same carriers for local toll
calls that fall outside the local calling area but are within the same
LATA.
Some states do
allow 10-digit dialing without a 1+. Washington DC (202) is an example of
this for making local calls to other adjacent area codes. The entire North
America Numbering Plan (NANP) is in a constant state of change as new area codes
are added. There are 4 different dialing plans for each area code that can
vary with regard to the number of digits required and whether a 1+ is
required:
