Local call rates are applied to calls to areas which are designated as having the area code of 0742 (under the control of Nara First Message Area) used in most of Nara City (however, area code must also be dialed), and calls to areas (Yoshino-gun, etc.) within Nara Prefecture are considered calls made within the prefecture, while calls to areas in Kyoto Prefecture, except for Kasagi-cho, are considered as calls placed to an area outside of the prefecture.
また、奈良市の大部分を占める市外局番0742(奈良第1MA)のエリアへは市内料金が適用され(但し市外局番は必要)、奈良県内(吉野郡など)へは県内通話となるが、笠置町を除く京都府域への通話は県外通話となる。
