Correct, if caller dials 1-xxx.... they get a message "This is not a long distance call ...."

This is where it can get very confusing. Prefix "1" is only required if it is a charged call. So from Newmarket to Toronto (Mobile or Landline), it is no charge and you cannot dial the prefix 1. However from Vaughan (905 area) which is North of Toronto and South of Newmarket and slightly West is a charged call although closer to Newmarket than Toronto.

remark: 905-210- exchange is the only one exchange belong to Toronto from 905 area code.

If it is a no charge call, than "1" is not used. The "1" indicates a charged call, unless calling a Toll Free number 1-800, 1-888, 1-866, 1-877.
I really do appreciate that this may sound quite confusing, but the system alerts you if you need to dial the "1".
