"Number dialed is blocked for all customers" and thoughts on Chatr mobile

   So I recently switched cell phone carriers and thought I'd try Chatr Mobile (https://www.chatrwireless.com/). They seem pretty good so far. I noticed that when I call someone and don't put the area code (ex 123-4567) it says "number dialed is blocked for all customers" but when I do include the area code (ex 1-234-567-8900), it works. I never had to before as the numbers I usually call are within the same area code as my number. Any ideas why and anyone else have the same? Anyone else in Canada with Chatr and what are your thoughts?

   In order for numbers to remain "portable" between carriers, many carriers require 10-digit dialing. I think we've been using mandatory 10-digit dialing since 1995.

   So some carriers require you to include the area code and some don't? Cause I never had to with my old carrier.

   It's not technically required if the number you are dialing is within the same area code, but if chatrwireless is an MVNO of a larger network, they may be bound by their requirements in order to resell the bandwidth.

   Yea the numbers are all within the same area code. Chatr is under the Rogers network.

   If Rogers requires 10-digit dialing, then so will Chatr. Or, Chatr could add the requirement regardless of Rogers policies. I've been using 10-digit dialing for so long, i didn't even realize some places still permitted 7-digit.

   Does Canada share the same ten digit (xxx-xxx-xxxx) telephone numbering plan as the US?

   Yep. We can dial Canadian numbers without a country code and vice versa.

   I tried to call 18002274825 a ten digit phone number and I got the message that the number is blocked for all customers. Thi number was to report a stolen or losr credit card. my phone crrier is CHATR. Not very reliable in my opinion. If the problem that some people had was that they needed a ten digit phone number, that is what the message shouls have said . not that the number is blocked.it seems that the programmer took a big shortcut on that one.
