I recently moved to North Andover, about 10 miles south of New Hampsire. When arranging for telephone service, the basic/cheapest option allowed for no cost (per call) calling to about 10 towns in the nearby area. One or two of the 10 towns was in Southern New Hampshire. I think it was Salem, NH. Were you in _Southern_ NH when you placed the call? It really surprises me that this local service spans area codes and states. Is this at all unusual?
