Long Distance Services
Choice of Long Distance. When you get a phone installed with the local telephone company, they'll ask you which long distance company you'll want to use. The local company will put the long distance company's charges on your bill. You can pick the long distance company whose TV or radio commercial you like best, or ask someone who already has the service. The major long distance companies have toll-free “800” numbers which you can dial to get basic information. Even if you have enrolled for a particular long distance company, you can still use any of a number of discount long-distance companies that require you to enter series of digits every time you call.
