Local rates are applied (though the area code is required) to numbers with the area code 0742 (Nara first message area (MA)), the major part of Nara City; calls to Nara Prefecture (including Yoshino-gun) are in-prefecture calls; and calls to Kyoto Prefecture except for Minami-yamashiro-mura are out-of-prefecture calls.
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、南山城村を除く京都府域への通話は県外通話となる。
