What is deemed local may differ by provider, where you reside and which phone service you use. Local can be:
- Your city or county
- Your state
- The entire U.S.
- The U.S. and its territories
- Your supplier's network
A lot of phone packages now cover unrestricted local calls in the normal charges, buy it's not unheard of for plans to restrict local calls at a certain number of minutes then charge additional fees for each minute you go above that.
Long-distance Telephone Services
Have loved ones living outside the United States or in another state? Have a business with a global market?
Like local calling areas, what's considered long-distance varies based on many factors. But, international calls will almost always be considered long-distance. It is advisable to clearly comprehend which areas are considered long-distance since you will likely incur additional fees on those calls.
Home Phone Service Providers and Plans
Home phones have been commonplace in households for many years, and for justified reasons. A home phone keeps you connected to your family and friends, can allow for access to the internet, and perhaps save your life during an unexpected emergency.
The calling features that are a part of your home phone service will vary from provider to provider. Most offer cheap plans that come with basic call features like three-way calling, call waiting and more. However, there's dozens of calling features available and if you aren't careful you may wind up paying more for features you'll never use.
