RE: [Asterisk-Users] USA dial plan
Title: Message
Yes, in most places in the USA local
calls are totally free, no per mincharge.
This is not true
in the US for business lines. Residentiallines have a "free" local
calling area. However, business lines from an incumbent local exchange
carrier like SBC nearlyalways charge rates for 7-digit local calls,
usually, but not alwaysbased on mileage zones. Rates vary based on
the local carrier, time of dayand the distance. Different rate
schemes apply in different parts of the country. Some use ZoneUsage
Measured(ZUM) schemes, others use Flat Rate or Measured Rate schemes.
There are different rate plans for the same carriers for local toll
callsthat 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:
- Home NPA Local Calls
- Foreign NPA Local Calls
- Home NPA Toll Calls
- Foreign NPA Toll Calls
If you go to www.nanpa.com and click on the "Dialing Plans"
option in the left column, you can get the current ("Standard") and evolving
("Permissive") dialing plan for any area code. For example, 310 is
currently setup this way:
Dialing
PlanStandard
Permissive
- Home NPA Local
Calls
7D
1+10D
- Foreign NPA Local
Calls
1+10D
NA
- Home NPA Toll
Calls
7DNA
- Foreign NPA Toll
Calls
1+10D
This says you currently dial local calls within 310 as 7
digits, but the plan will change to require 1+10 digits which is currently
permitted.
Hope this helps

Re: [Asterisk-Users] USA dial plan
In some places, yes, but not all places. In Louisiana, for example business can get unlimited local calling (and most do). When I lived in Calif unlimited local calling was not available to businesses.

I have not been to USA (yet) :) Ta SJ In all cases of long distance, 1 plus the area code is used. In small areas where local only is involved you usually only dial 7 digits. In metro areas with multiple area codes, you use 10 digit dialing. Some places you use 10 digit dialing or 1 + area code, depends on the phone company.I've seen this happen on the east coast.

This is because they may have several area codes within their local called area. Here in Houston we have 713, 281 and 832. In Toronto they have 416, 905 and a new third that I don't know.
