Default double dialing?????

hello, i have the moto q on prepaid for alltel(i knew somethin was gonna go wrong) anyway i bought a moto q used on ebay and went to a "local" alltel (37 miles away) and activated it on prepaid. so i get home and then i get a local number i also see a roaming triangle. so i call alltel and they say im not roaming but i have to double dial a person to reach them. i am NOT charged roaming, its just really weird and their goes my speed dial, but if i go down the street from my home, i dont have to double dial?!?!?! just wondering if anybody else had this weird way of dialing people too. thanks
