How do I make long distance calls with the new service providers?
For most long distance plans you simply dial the way you’ve always done, For long distance calls within North America: Dial 1 + area code + telephone number For long distance calls overseas: Dial: 011 + country code + city code + telephone number Plans that say Access Number Required do not require you to change long distance companies. You register your phone number(s) with the long distance company selected, for identification purposes. You will gain access to the carrier’s system to make a long distance call by dialling either a local access number, or a Toll Free (800) number. You will then be prompted how to complete the call. (Some plans have eliminated the dialling of 1+ or 011 before the phone number of the person you are trying to reach.).
