Fix what?
Either way, calls within the same area codes are sometimes going to be long distanc and sometimes they'll be local.
Why make a bunch of people change their phone number for no real reason.

Why make a bunch of people/businesses change their phone number when the inconveninece to the general public is minimal at worst? Especially consindering that for some companies, having to change all of their promotional material could be a fairly sizeable burden.

I'll bet any company that just got their business cards/callendars/borchures printed, are fairly happy that their only inconvenience is going to be having to know where they are calling to figure out if it is long distance.
