Not once, not twice, but at least three times in the last two weeks
I have dialed a local number, had the phone ring once or twice then

	***BEEP*** 
		   THE NUMBER YOU DIALED MUST BE PREFIXED WITH
		   A `ONE'.  PLEASE HANG UP AND REDIAL THE 
		   NUMBER.
	***BEEP***

Actually, that message annoys me, even when it's correct. They know what I
want, why don't they just do it? For instance, replace the message with:

	***BEEP*** 
		   THE NUMBER YOU DIALED MUST BE PREFIXED WITH
		   A `ONE'.  IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO MAKE THE LONG
		   DISTANCE CALL, PLEASE HANG UP NOW.
	***BEEP***

and place the call for me?
