Julian, I am sure there is a better way of doing this, but I have tried this and it works. If you have trixbox, I believe they have a built in functionality for this from what I am told anyways visit the following link: http://www.localcallingguide.com/lca_prefix.php?npa=905 <http://www.localcallingguide.com/lca_prefix.php?npa=905&nxx=333&x=&ocn=® ion=&lata=&switch=&pastdays=0&nextdays=0> &nxx=333&x=&ocn=®ion=&lata=&switch=&pastdays=0&nextdays=0 in the NPA type in your area code for eg 905 and in the NXX type in an exchange # such as 333 hit the submit button, it gives you a listing of all the other exchanges you can call without incurring any ld charges.... its a crude way of determining what is a local call for you, this way you can then copy and modify the list into * and configure asterisk to intelligently dial the appropriate trunk based on the number you are trying to call... Hope this helps.

The trouble being that a 905 call will either be local to Mississauga or long distance to Hamilton (for example). So is there any way to tell if a call will be long distance before making the call? Thanks, Julian.
