Whether you're calling across town, across the state or across the country, Verizon has a calling plan for your business. Depending on your needs, you can select one plan for each of the following: Local Calling, Regional Calling and Long Distance Calling.

Local Calling Services
Local calls are those made within your local calling area as defined by your telephone company.

Calls to local areas are either included in a flat monthly rate or are priced on a per-call or per-minute basis. Your specific local calling plan options will depend on availability in your location.

Regardless of your local calling plan, you will get quality service and an easy-to-understand billing structure. To find out more about the Local Calling plans available in your area, click here.

Regional Calling Plans
Regional calls are those made outside your local and extended area, but within official Local Access and Transport Areas (LATA) boundaries.

In an effort to provide you with the best value and reduce your monthly phone bill, Verizon offers calling plan options for regional calls. With some of these plans, calls that would have required dialing 1+ number become local calls.

Long Distance Calling Plans
Long Distance calls are those made outside regional boundaries (LATAs). These calls require you to dial 1+ area code + number, they include out-of-state calls, and sometimes calls within your state (depending on where your business is located). International long distance calls require you to dial 011+ country and city code + number.

In order to help you reduce your monthly calling costs, Verizon offers a range of Long Distance and International calling services.
