Your local calling area and service plan define the numbers you can call without incurring a charge. A local calling area will generally include all numbers in your home exchange (617)-424-**** and may include additional exchanges in surrounding communities.

A map of your basic local calling area is available in the front of your phone book. To view your basic local calling area please [click here].

Local calling plans and pricing are subject to availability and vary by state and/or area code. Calling plans may vary between local telephone companies.

Your local phone service provider always carries your local calls and generally carries all of your toll calls although you are entitled to select both a different regional toll and long distance carrier. Please be aware that your chosen long distance provider will be responsible for your in-state long distance rates as well as your state-to-state and international rates. Regional toll is not associated with long distance service and will not be handled by your selected long distance provider (if different than your local carrier) unless specifically requested.
