only in the usa would portable, mobile, hand, cellular phones have an -area-code- and be locked to where they were first enabled. only in the usa would the concept of “long distance” calls matter or apply to these phones.

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.
