Best Answer

A long-distance company code allows you to place a call with a different carrier than your default. In North America, you dial

• any applicable star codes (e.g., *67, *70, etc.), then

• long-distance company code (e.g., 1019999), then

• 1 + area code + number, or 011 + country code + number

What is the long distance access code to call area code 910 from area code 828?

Area code 910 serves Wilmington and Fayetteville, North Carolina; area code 828 serves Asheville, N.C. To call from area code 828 to area code 910, just dial 1-910 and the 7-digit local number. To choose a long distance company other than your default for this call only, dial 101xxxx-1-910-xxx-xxxx, where 101xxxx is the access code for the long distance company you want to use. However, be careful, as you may be charged much higher "casual caller" rates if you do not have an account with the long distance company you choose.

Where does the access code number go when dialling long distance?

Your question is unclear. In general, access codes will be dialed before the telephone number. For example, if you want to use a long distance company other than your default, you dial the other company's access code first, followed by the number; for example, 101xxxx-1-406-555-0123.


Why do you need a long distance company access code when you are dialing the same area code as mine?

In addition to being divided into area codes, the United States is also divided into areas called LATAs, which do not correspond to area code boundaries. After the breakup of the Bell System, a toll call within the same LATA was handled by your local carrier, but a toll call to a different LATA had to be handed off to your long-distance carrier. If you are trying to call a number in the same area code and get a recording that you need a long-distance company access code, most likely you are trying to call a number that is in a different LATA.

The rules for what calls are local or long distance vary from state to state, and may also vary depending on your telephone company and your calling plan.
