One of the restrictions of the service is that you need to dial 1+(Area Code) no matter if the call is local or long distance. I've become quite accustomed to this and while at first it seemed awkward, now however, it's just second nature to dial the 1+(Area Code) and then the number. Hass,

I hope at that point the movie studios will just have a telephone line with a recorded message and they can use that number in their movies. They can afford to, eh?

This actually disracted me from enjoying the movie fully. KNowing that the studio caved in and changed it's art. On the DVD version of Bruce Almighty, the phone number was changed to a 555 number.
