that's not how i understood it. I call someone who's cell is based in calgary, i pay local and they are charged like it is a long distance call (or roaming) and if both in same city like kelowna both pay long distance. I could be wrong through, but that is always the impression i got. Thats why telus used to have that 511 number that you would dial on your phone and neither of you got charged long distance. Just like when you have your cell in Kelowna you can call local numbers there and there is no long distance charges.
edit: i see firefly beat me to it
