All true, but *WHY* is that 'accidentally dialing a non-local ISP number' the *ISP's* fault??
Because the ISP gave the number to the user, often accompanied by text that implied that the number provided was an economical way to get connected. "Here's a list of our local numbers:" "Here's a list of our numbers in your area code. Some numbers may be toll calls from some locations in the area code, please double-check." As far as I can tell, they're requiring the second rather than the first. Move along, nothing to see... ;)
