If a call is made from CA to PA, it is rated at $0.08 per minute using the Area rating method.

If a call is made from CA to NY, it is rated at $0.07 per minute using the Term Area rating method.

If a call is made from NY to CA, it is rated at $0.06 per minute using the Orig Area rating method.

If a call is made from CA to CA, it is recycled (no rating method).

If a call is made from NY to NY, it is rated at $0.07 per minute using the Term Area rating method (the Term Area rating method precedes the Orig Area rating method in the hunting sequence).
