What is the difference between local toll calling and local service?
A. Selecting Advent Telecom to carry your local toll calls will not change your local service. You will still have Ameritech/GTE/Verizone as your basic local carrier. Advent Telecom replaces your existing long distance carrier. Today, some local telephone companies provide you with both local toll calling and local service. Local service includes dial tone service and any non-toll calls made within your local calling area. Selecting Advent Telecom to carry your local toll calls will not affect your local calling area.
