And I love how they call it "10-digit calling" even though it generally requires 11 digits (or 11 button presses on cell).

- Scoundreller 3y agoHuh? You don’t if it’s a “local” call. Probably more of a US thing where mobile phone long-distance charges went the way of the dodo a long time ago. But they’re still very much a thing in Canada and just starting to die off.
- caturopath 3y agoI'm not sure I follow. Obviously cell phones and cordless phones have a talk button, but that's not very digitlike. When I operate a landline, I just enter ten digits: 9095551212. Are you implying a leading 1 would be necessary? IME, it isn't for local 'ten digit dialing'.
