There are many numbers within area code 352. When calling to them on a land line from a home in TV, some of them are local calls (a.k.a. free calls) and some of them are long distance calls (a.k.a. toll calls). I want my future TV friends who have only a land line to be able to call a Google Voice number for free.
Champion6, I understand what you're asking .... In fact, area code 352 covers 21 counties and 104 cities, therefore, all of those are not going to be toll free calls. Here is a page that shows the exchanges for each county/city in the 352 area code. Looks like there are several exchanges in TV, but I would guess each of those would be toll free

Here's the site:

I believe the 352-753-XXXX exchange is toll free within TV. But you could validate this by checking the phone numbers of some businesses in TV, like Barnes & Noble, Panera Bread, Toojays, etc...

Let us know if you're able to get that exchange from Google. Currently, I have a 312 area code Google Voice number, but would like to change when I move to TV in December. I know not all exchanges are available from Google...

Cheers
