Since southern California has a crapload of area codes and cities have 2, does it cost long distance to call?

SoCal has so many area codes, and some cities straddle two area codes. I've never lived in CA since I've been in Las Vegas all my life, and we've always just had 702 while 775 is considered long distance. I just wanted to know if you have to call long distance and pay long distance charges for just calling across the same city or nearby cities with differing area codes.Since southern California has a crapload of area codes and cities have 2, does it cost long distance to call?
in most cases you dont pay long distance rates

although you might have to pay "zone": rate

in some cases(or also as a toll call)

but in lots of plaes it still consider a local cal

(ie you can from Santa monica (310 to a Middle Wilshire (323)

and that would be consider a "local" car (although you will

still need to enter in 1 323 and the phone number

but if you are in santa monica and want to call long beach (562) that

would be a toll cal

(now this is only for land lines phones)

if using a cell phone

cellphone you dont have to worry about it
Ask the operator. Buy a phone card and don't pay long distanceSince southern California has a crapload of area codes and cities have 2, does it cost long distance to call?
Probably same as everyplace else.. I can call thousand oaks toll free (different AC)which is 26 miles, but calling parts of North hills, which is actually closer and same AC. I get nailed with a toll charge. i'm seriously thinking of going to target, get some blankets, build a fire in the back yard and send smoke signals.Since southern California has a crapload of area codes and cities have 2, does it cost long distance to call?
its not a long distance call
