Well, I don't know about your carrier, by my carrier provides me with a 
phone book which has, near the beginning, a list of all the local 
prefixes.  In Olympia there's a few dozen.  In Honolulu there's a few 
hundred.  New prefixes are added all the time, and I have to update my 
dialrules annually.  I also found them on the web one time... somewhere.

code that are long distance and I get the 1 dialed just fine.
