Understanding Your Phone Bill

Local toll. These include calls outside of your local calling area, but within your local access and transport area (LATA). These calls are also referred to as local toll or intraLATA

Intrastate calling. Intrastate calling refers to calls that begin and terminate within the same state. Intrastate calls are long-distance calls or those that exceed the designated local calling area boundary.

InterLATA calling. This refers to calls made from your home LATA to another LATA within your state.

Interstate Calling. Interstate calling refers to calls originating in one state and terminating in another. For example, calls made between California and New York are considered interstate calls.
