Okay, so what's the deal?! When I'm in the 905 area code some of my calls to other 905 numbers are local, and some are LD, and I never know which when...!!!! So I dial 10 digits and I get the beeps (feeling so much like Homer Simpson, wanting to curl up in a ball while the phone goes "do da di, do da di...") and I get a message that "this call is LD, please hang up and dial 1 before the number". If I guess the other way I invariably get a message that says "this call is not a long distance call, please hang up and dial again without the 1". Talk about annoying! How about this: if I dial the '1' that means I am willing to pay the LD, SO JUST PUT MY FRIGGIN' CALL THROUGH!!!! And even better, when I dial 10 digits and its suppose to be LD, just tell me there will be charges and then put my call through!!! Bell has started doing both of these things on the mobile side of things - which is great because dialing and then redialing again while driving is just a bad idea, but the landline people don't seem to have caught on to this yet...
(deep breaths, take deep breaths, ...and then start redialing that number you were trying to call...)

HI
905 AREA CODE REQUIRES 9 DIGITS LOCAL & TEN DIGITS LONG DISTANCE; HOWEVER, YOU ARE RIGHT, IT SCREWS UP ALL THE TIME. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF CURSING AT PHONES. BUSTED UP SOME TOO. WHEN YOU ARE IN THE 905 AREA WATCH OUT FOR FLYING PHONES; IT WILL BE THROWING THEM.
I'm simply testing this feature. I don't wish to comment on this entry...other than.... "I feel your pain, man."
