Here in the Seattle/Redmond area, the telco has gone to this sort of model: if you're dialing within the same NPA (area code), it's a seven-digit number; if you're dialing within the local area but to a different NPA (for instance, Redmond to Seattle), it's a ten-digit number; if it's long distance (in other words, a toll call), prepend the 1. It's a very recent change, which also makes an important point: things can rapidly change, even in something as prosaic as POTS.
