    Phones are neither locked to their geographic area, nor long distance in the us.

    In fact, my us carrier doesn’t even charge me roaming in Europe or canada for data.

      If you say so.

      But I was charged long distance rates for making calls outisde my initial area code that I registered my phone in.

        I haven’t heard of or cared about long distance calls in over 20 years. I also still have the same phone number I had 20 years ago despite moving to six states and overseas once. My kids have the same area code on their phones as I do despite never living in that state and getting their phones over 1000 miles away from that area.

        I moved 1300 miles away from where I originally registered my cell phone, and I’ve never had to deal with long distance fees. I still have that number, in fact.
