No it wouldn't.  It would lead to the idiotic situation where you dial a
number a get a message telling you to redial it with a one in front.  Most
calls to numbers in one's own area code are not terribly expensive.  I can't
believe many people even care if a call is a toll call or local.  Perhaps
it could be an option on a per line basis along with a no 976 calls option.
