There are several ways:
1) If you have a calling card, they generally have a toll-free (800) number to call in order to place a calling card call. You do not have to have a long distance carrier in order to call an 800 (or 888, 877, 866, 855) number.
You can buy a prepaid calling card from most drug and grocery stores. Or you can order a non-prepaid calling card from a long distance company.
2) You can dial a "101" code in front of the number.
Every long distance company has several "carrier access codes" that you can dial in order to make sure your phone called is carried by that long distance phone company. You dial this number if you don't have a default long distance carrier or if you want to use a carrier that is different than your default long distance carrier. For example, if you dial 1010288 in front of a phone number, the call will be carried by AT&T no matter what long distance carrier you subscribe (or don't subscribe) to. Caution: AT&T will charge an EXTREME rate if you dial this number and are not an AT&T long distance subscriber.
There are some long distance companies that used to advertise their 101 service. They still exist, but they don't advertise much any more and their rates are a lot higher than they used to be. You can still find them on the internet.

Can someone in Hawaii call someone in Oregon for free?
It depends entirely upon your carrier and what (they) consider "long distance", or not. With Nextel/Sprint, since Hawaii is (in) the U.S. --- you SHOULD be able to call from Hawaii to Oregon, with NO long distance charges. You will be charged, of course, for the minutes used --- but not long distance. I have Nextel and am never charged "long distance". IF I call after 7pm, CST, I don't even have to pay minutes. IF I call during "prime time" (7am to 7pm --- except week-ends), then yes, I pay for minutes. Again, it depends upon your carrier, their rules and regulations, and your particular "plan". Check with your carrier.
1) Do you have a lon?
1) Do you have a long-distance service provider? You can check your long distance carrier by dialing 1-700-555-4141. It is a toll free number that will provide an automated message with information about your long distance carrier. You can then reach them to find out if long distance service has been blocked. If you want to make long-distance calls without being on a formal long-distance plan, 1) Buy a prepaid calling card. To use the card, dial the toll-free number and the access code provided with the card. 2) Use a dial-around carrier. You begin by pressing 10-10 and then a code identifying the specific dial-around carrier you choose. Charges vary depending on carrier.
Do they charge long distance when you call from your cell phone to a cell phone?

Not necessarily, but you save on your monthly phone bill if you do not use your present carrier for long distance and cancel access to their long distance service.

Would a call from Wisconsin to Tennessee be a long distance call?
Actually, no. I have called someone from Wisconsin to Tennessee before and it was not a long distance call. On some phones, it is considered a long distance call even if the person doesn't have the same area code as you, but that is mostly old phones. Today, it wouldn't be a long distance call, it would be a long distance call if you called London (just an example) from Wisconsin though.

Call your phone service provider and purchase long distance service for the phone that your fax is hooked up to. In my case, I had long distance service for my "house phone" but no long distance on my "internet phone" so I couldn't fax long distance.
Do you need to dial a 1 before the area code for Miami?
If you are making a local call in Miami, you dial the area code and number, without the prefix '1'. If you are making a long-distance call from Miami, dial 1 + area + number. If you're not sure whether the call is local or long distance, try first without the 1.
