Long Distance, Toll Free, and Calling Cards options exist for distributing the cost associated with telephone usage.
Long Distance
Outbound long distance refers to telephone calls made outside your home calling area. Domestic long distance calls are calls made within the originating country and usually carry per minute or per call charges, which vary between long distance providers. International calls are long distance calls that are made between different countries and usually carry higher charges than domestic calls.
Toll Free
Inbound long distance, also known as toll-free calling, is a service that provides the callers with a toll-free number (a number beginning with 800, 888, 877, and 866) that allows them to reach businesses and/or individuals without being charges for the call. The charge for using this toll-free number is paid by the party being called, not the calling party.
Calling Cards
Calling cards provides a convenient, safe, and secure way to place low cost long distance calls while traveling or working away from the office.
