Bundled Local Service provides for discount pricing from MetTel vs Verizon's services.

Key Benefits:

Combines local calling, regional calling, in-state long distance, and out-of-state long distance in a single plan.
Two plans are available: Basic Service and Enhanced Service
Both plans have 2000 minutes (33.3 hours) per month of local calling per phone line
Additional minutes beyond the 2000 are 2 cents per minute.
Basic Service: $29.95/month
Enhanced Service: $39.95/month. Same as Basic Service except bundles additional features such as call waiting, call forwarding, 3-way calling, voice mail, etc. at no additional charge. If you currently use these additional features with Verizon, this can save you money.
Long distance (regional toll calls, in-state long distance, and out-of-state long distance) is at 6.9 cents/minute. If you do mostly regional and/or in-state calls, this long distance is great.
If you do only small amounts of local calls, then choose the Measured Local Service option previously described. To calculate which is best, look at your current Verizon local bill, find the total number of local minutes charged, divide by 3, multiply by 7.5 cents (0.075 for 3 minutes), and add the Verizon basic monthly rate. For example, if you had 1000 minutes of local calls: 1000 / 3 = 333.3 x .075 = 24.99 + 17.69 = $42.68 (this is the approximate cost for Verizon's service). As the Basic Service is $29.95, then MetTel Basic Service would be better. MetTel's Enhanced service would even be less expensive. Compared against MetTel's Measured Local Service, the calculation would be: 1000 / 3 = 333.3 x 0.072 = 23.99 + 14.60 = $38.59 (approximate cost for Measured Local Service)
