The issue is that when I call you from my cell phone, the number will still show up as 1-403-555-1212; not 403-555-1212. For years Telus et al have been telling us to go ahead and put that "1" in front of cell numbers. Now when I return a call using the 1, suddenly I could be facing long distance charges because I didn't know my buddy decided to register his cell in Edmonton instead of Calgary.
