Choosing a Long Distance Company

Customers in this area now have the option of selecting a “preferred” long distance company for their “1 +” and “0 +” calling to points outside their LATELCO Calling Zone.


Company Code Dialing
You do not have to use the services of your preferred "1 +" long distance company. Instead, you can use Company Code Dialing. Here is how it works:
Dial the five-digit code instead of the long distance company you wish to use (see code listing on this page). Then dial 1+ the area code (if needed) + the phone number for a direct dialed call or 0 + the area code (if needed) + the phone number for a Credit Card or Collect call. Your call will be routed through the carrier (long distance company) you have selected.
Some of the following equal access long distance companies accept Company Code Dialing without a previously arranged account. Some companies may require that you set up an account with them before you can use their code.
This chart below is based on information available at publication of this directory. Some companies may no longer offer long distance service. Others may offer service, but may not wish to be listed

Pay Telephone Dialing
Calling procedures for pay telephone vary, so pay telephone users should check the instruction cards posted on the telephones.
