This is only true sometimes. If you live outside of the metro calling area and have "Metropolitan" calling (as I do), Lynn and Burlington are toll calls. This seems to be the case for some other areas as well (like Hyde Park). Dorchester and Mattapan get free calls to Lynn, but not to Burlington. Swampscott, Nahant, Scituate, and North Reading are shown in the metro phone books, but appear to be toll calls for most people with metro service.
