Calls between landline service and cell service

Question

If this question is not appropriate, please delete.  My question is:  I have landline service.  I receive a call from a cell phone.  I am not home so my message unit records the message from the cell phone caller.  The cell phone caller leaves me his cell phone number and requests that I return his call.  How can I detect if the cell phone number is a long distant call for me or it is a local call?

Thank you

The only way to easily see is to dial it without area code. If it lets you call it without the area code, its a local number. If not, then its a long distance call.
