The power of GrandCentral (again, as far as I can tell) is that they have a bajillion local numbers spread out through most of the 50 states. You pick a number that's local to *you*, with the presumption that the people who are calling are from that area. My understanding is that out of town calls *into* that local number would be long distance, as is are calls *out* of that local number -- just like any local number. Which is why its important to have a local number. ;) As far as I can tell — YES.

If, say someone calls my GrandCentral number that is not local to the calling parties area code do they in fact incurr long distance charges? Seeing as I am in Ottawa, Canada and I chose a GC number in lets say New Jersey and the person calls me from Ottawa at my GC new Jersey area code then do they pay long distance costs? Thanks for any information you can dig up as I haven't found any. JC I have a question also related to possible long distance charges.
