In some places, yes, but not all places. In Louisiana, for example business can get unlimited local calling (and most do). When I lived in Calif unlimited local calling was not available to businesses.

Just a little clarification on USA local calling:

Local calls are generally free for residential customers, unless they are on
a increasingly rare "measured local service".  However, business customers
almost always pay for local calls on a measured basis.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] USA dial plan


Generally speaking, Yes. The usual dial plan in the USA is as follows:


NXX-XXXX (Free Local Call to number in same Area Code)
NXX-NXX-XXXX (Free Local Call to number in different Area Code)
1-NXX-XXXX (Toll Call to number in same Area Code)
1-NXX-NXX-XXXX (Toll Call to number in different Area Code)
1-800-NXX-XXXX (Toll Free Call)
1-855-NXX-XXXX (Toll Free Call)
1-866-NXX-XXXX (Toll Free Call)
1-877-NXX-XXXX (Toll Free Call)
1-888-NXX-XXXX (Toll Free Call)

Yes, in most places in the USA local calls are totally free, no per min
charge.

Some parts of the USA have "Local Toll Calls", that is calls that are
dialed as NXX-XXXX that are not free, but have a very small per min
cost.  Los Angels is one of these places I think.

Hi,

Do the callers in USA dialling from USA Telco lines always have to
prefix the CITY/AREA code with "1" in order To successfully make a call to other USA destinations?
