Hi Ed   
      
    EV> Howdy! Mike,   
      
    EV> The instructions that came with my latest Telephone Bill said that the   
    EV> 1 wouldn't have to be dialed for numbers that are on local Exchanges in   
    EV> my Area Code, but for numbers in my same Area Code but in another part   
    EV> of the State the 1 would have to be dialed.   
      
    EV> I'm not sure, but "I think" right now, before the BIG CHANGE begins,   
    EV> if I want to call another number that isn't a local call I can dial   
    EV> 1 then the 3 digits for the Exchange and the last 4 digits.   
      
    EV> I haven't called anyone down in the next County where I use to live for   
    EV> a very long time so I could be mistaken.   
    EV> I might have to dial the Area Code after I dial the 1.   
    EV> I don't know, can't remember.   
    EV> 73   
      
   I've done some research on MajicJack reference this.  As best I can tell so   
   far, when you are entering a 'new' number to call into the MajicJack 'unit' it   
   will NOT accept any combination of digits dialed at all until it can somehow   
   'identify' that what you are dialing matches SOMETHING in it's library of   
   possible numbers.  This is just a reference digit description I'll cite.  Not   
   at all a real number.  If there is NO actual identity for the numbers you   
   strike in such as 12345 for, say the number 123 anything, it simply does not   
   even register that combination!  Say that there is no known combination it it   
   for 123 .. BUT, beginning with 345 it does 'know' a hit for say 345, it will   
   actually show up that there is no digit 1 or 2, but starting with 345 until it   
   doesn't know something else it will accept what you are entering!  Such as 3,   
   4567 or shows, say, 345 678, whatever if there may be an area code 345, or a   
   counrty code 3, 456 plus whatever number combo it knows until it runs out of   
   'I understand this dial deal' !!   
      
   For example, if your dialed number starts being understood as 4567889 and you   
   stop there, assuming that a 'valid' number might exist for that tail number in   
   a valid area code, it will announce, 'You must dial the area code to complete   
   this call'.  Might have been 713-456-7889 for example, or I guess,perhaps a   
   214-456-7889 number.  Dunno exactly.  However, since you DO NOT AT ALL dial a   
   1- number to start a call, it seems that any such number starting with a 1-   
   combo is considered an unacceptable whatever.   
      
   So far, at this point, I have no way to figure out a way to accidentally get   
   just a seven digit number to complete at all in MajicJack that would thus   
   falsely whop a local number for a 'misdialed' LD call from a local area code   
   that improperly hit an an area code number for a 'valid' false call to a local   
   exchange number that was dialed that way without a 'needed' 1- prefix to force   
   it to that LD area code instead of wrongly whopping the local exchage that   
   hits a wrong number, even though you entered all 10 digits for a local number   
   that used wrongly only the first ten digits to whop it.   
      
   Hmmmmmmm.
