That's the way it is here in Phoenix for inter-zone toll calls around the
metropolitan area - 1+ is mandatory. I'd hate to think how much my phone
bill would be if my teens, upon their return from summer camp, were not
made aware of which new friends lived a toll call away, especially when
some of those calls are measured in hours rather than in minutes. The
"you must first dial a 1" recording provides the needed awareness.
