And as pointed out, if you have to dial into another area code. I have to dial it on my cell as well ... so it's not just a landline thing. We take it for granted when we see ads with phone numbers - and it has become silent. But that's just because ... how often are you really watching a French infomercial and need to dial in, now?!

It was a Chinese brand. The device still works, but now whenever I try to record a show, it skips. It's the same problem you are having tOdd. Would I be having the same issue if I bought a Sony instead? I bought a DVD Recorder back in 2004 as a Christmas gift for my father. It was a Chinese brand.

I often don't do it, and then I'll get that damn message telling me to dial 1 first. I don't really see why I should have to dial it. And when people list phone numbers, they don't list 1 in front of it but then yet it still needs it... I don't remember always have to dial one back in the day. not a fan of the dialing 1.

Our house and his work were close enough to be local (and thus toll free), but it was only free if you dialed 1-315-***-**** instead of 315-***-****. That's about the only point I ever saw in dialing the 1 first, though. -skine I grew up in the 716 area code (later 585), and my father worked in 315.
