The sad thing is, these are not things with a precise definition. You can invision defining "Long Distance" before there were cell phones, and it might not have included them. Of course, I think if you stop anyone on the street and ask if they can call a cell phone using their long distance service they would stare at you blankly with a "of course, why wouldn't you" kind of response.
Not at all. In many parts of the world "Long Distance" still does not include cellphones. Even calls from the USA to Europe or Australasia (over the cheaper networks) will not complete at all if a cellphone number range is dialled. On other networks there is a price uplift.
