This has caught me off guard in the past too! Let alone the US/Canada thing some telcos around the world even impose different rates to Alaska and Hawaii as well. I suppose every country with offshore territory has some of this though! In the UK we have the channel islands and the IOM which to a novice, look just like ordinary numbers, but then again you can get charged higher rates.

Point taken though... at least Canada and the US should be different country codes, after all what other separate countries (however small they are) share a country code? (Well OK the vatican has it's own +379 but I think it uses Italy's +39 in reality)
