Yesterday I purchased a new SIM card and when activated it was given a number within area code 778.

As I don't see the zoning graph (for local calls) on the main website anymore, I am wondering if calls to area codes 778, 250, and possibly 604, will all be local calls for me. I am meaning without purchasing the long distance monthly package of course. Could anyone please give me feedback regarding this?

Thank You

David

Okay, I finally got it - I was looking at the FAQ at the main 7/11 website.

I am only now realizing, that if I port my old phone number over (with a 250 prefix) that I will lose the ability to make a local call to the 604 area code. What a bummer. Is there any way around this I wonder?
