That's exactly what you have to do in our area with cell phones.
calling from a cell? yeah as long as ive had a cell its been that way.
as for mediacom phone, in my area the 10 digit is not the same as the TELCO, i.e. to call the next county over (same "local" region for the telco) i have to 10 digit dial. tends to be annoying as we have a few dozen prefixes so you dont know which ones go to which county as to the telco, there all local. but to mediacom, there not.
with a lot of companys doing unlimited nationwide calling, you get used to 10 digit dialing, i just wish it was consistent accross companys.
