I guess it’s for a cell phone?
When my son got his cell phone the number had to call was not a toll call. Then his dad changed providers and now it costs me to call from my home phone. And since I did not have long distance on it I could not call him unless I use my cell phone which does not work in my house. Of course it doesn’t. They again had to get a Pac code to change carriers but this time they got a temporary number until their other contract ran out rather than pay the fee. So this number was local for me and of course as usual they had to get the old number again now I have to pay for it yet again. I just cannot win.
