Calls from someone in Toronto would have to dial your Vancouver number and they would reach the cell tower in Vancouver first. Then that cell tower would have to find out where you are. So this would now go long distance to reach you in Toronto. But if you dial out a number this would go to the closest cell tower where you are standing, this then goes to a local number then that is a local call

No, this is not correct. If your visiting Toronto and make a call to Toronto then that is considered a local call. If you RECEIVE any calls from anybody (including) your home calling area you are charged long distance. You can’t even call your home calling area or your friend who is traveling beside you that has a phone from your calling area

[...] article has a lot in common with our recent coverage of terrible Rogers/Fido news and the Condition 15 news on your contract that allows you to reject a change, but only one time. [...]

Does anyone have before and after maps of the local calling arias? or is the red before and the yellow after? I know when I was in Kelowna the red aria was about the same as my Bell network local calling aria and I loved being able to call from Salmon Arm to Pentection to Kelowna and it was all local. If the red is the before and the yellow is after than I think a joint lawsuit is in order.

Wait, so if I get a call when I'm outside my local area, I have to pay their absorbant long distance fees, despite the fact that my plan, being grandfathered, is unlimited incoming calls? That's absurd, a complete cash grab and as far as I'm concerned enough of a change that I should be able to cancel my contract.

INCOMING-

2.) If you are outside your LCA and receive a phone call, you pay long distance (you are in Toronto and receive a call from Toronto or Montreal or Halifax, etc).

I thought that if you were visiting another city, incoming calls from people in that city were free (ie. visiting Toronto, calls from people in Toronto are free)… has this changed recently?
