What is a local toll call?

Local toll service allows calling within a geographic area known as a Local Access and Transport Area (LATA). Per-minute toll charges may apply to these calls. Local toll calls may be made within your area code or to a different area code across town, in the next county, or, in some cases, an adjoining state. You must dial "1" before making a local toll call, even if the area code is the same as your area code.
