I live in central Maryland, and the area code is 301, but I found a mobile home on a website in the farthest southern region of Maryland and was thinking about trying to get into it, so I was looking for a job in that area. But whenever I call numbers for any businesses in that area I keep getting "you must first dial a 1..." even though the numbers are still 301 numbers. And I can't dial a 1 on this phone because I am on a college campus and they don't have "long distance" available. Likewise, when not here I have to stay with my grandma, and she does not have free long distance, so if I was to call from her phone it may show up on the phone bill as being long distance. So I just want to know why I keep getting "you must first dial a 1.." when I try to call numbers in that area even though they are still 301numbers. Are they long distance or not? Because if they are then why do they still have 301? And if they are not then why would I keep getting "you must first dial a 1"?
