Answer 3

Calls just across the state line may be local, but there are certainly some calls from 513 to 859 that are outside the local calling area.

For example, calling from Cincinnati, Ohio, in area code 513, the following communities in area code 859 in Kentucky are local: Alexandria, Boone, Butler, Covington (including the airport), Falmouth, Glencoe, Independence, Walton, Warsaw, and Williamstown.

However, calls to Lexington and other parts of 859 farther from the state line are not local calls.

Also, your local calling area may be different if you use a competing local telephone company, or if you have a special calling plan.
