Your friend actively selected a long distance number when she setup the program. Whether her locale has an active AOL number really doesn't matter. The fact remains that SHE selected a long distance number to dial into.
This isn't rocket science. She obviously wasn't paying attention. Dialing long distance is not hidden at all, it's right there in front of her eyes.

She assumed that her AOL monthly charge was all she would have to pay...she did not know...or at least she did not understand that she would be...in addition...charged for long distant calls. She was aware that the number was not a local number but was not aware that the access number provided to her by AOL would be charged to her phone bill. She is a clerk...that is also attending college and bought a used computer to help with her school studies and was devastated when she lost her phone. With her income it will take a very long time for her to pay the bill and get her phone back.
