t,~lephonc linc. Charter's toll free numher went into cffect on March 28, 2003. iv. Telephone Local Access Number (Verizon)- Calls within your calling area that generally do not generate a toll are local calls. Your calling area is defined by your local calling service plan. It is a number within the company's local calling area for which residents who use the number to call the company would not be charged. It is important to note that only those individuals who reside within the company's local calling area will not be charged for making the call because the local telephone access number is based on the location of the company, not the location of the caller. A caller who resides outside of the company's local calling area would be charged for making a call because to him/her the call would be considered a long distance call.
