Network wierdness

[CptChipJew]

I have AT&T, and the area I live in (Los Angeles County) has lots of Cingular zones. Whenever my phone in on a Cingular network, I have to dial the area code of people I am trying to reach who are in the same area code as me. If you try to just dial the number without the area code, Cingular says it cant connect.

This just happened to me again today, so this merger may be complete business-wise, but there are still bugs to work out of the network.
