i realize this isn't a Vancouver specific gripe, and I don't even know if it's a Canada specific gripe, but i think we can all identify with this pain.
dont you hate it when you call a number and insert the 1 infront (even if it's local) and you get that annoying message instructing you to hangup and dial again. most annoying is the fact that at home, my Caller ID often comes through with a 1 in front of the local number who called me, so when i select the option to redial, it gives me the annoying message that i need to redial again without the 1.
the 1 is what supposedly takes you out of your own local area code, the complication in Vancouver is that the idiots that be have setup the 604 area code in such a way that some 604 numbers are local and some aren't...so in some cases you do need the 1 ahead of the 604 and in others you dont. it doesn't seem to be a problem when calling from a cell phone, so why is a problem from a landline????
