Special: Area codes in the United States.

This is a listing as of April 1, 2001 of all the area codes assigned in the 3-digit area code system. These also include those area codes that are special, e.g., the 700 maintenance area code, and those area codes available to specific countries compatible with the US direct dial system, e.g., 242 = Bahamas (1-242-366-0358 can be directly dialed without having to use the "011-country code-number" sequence).

To continue then....

...the rest of the story

That's it. Takes about 2-3 minutes total of your time to save money on 1+, toll-free, and international calls and calling cards. Except for the equal or better quality lines (and of course your savings), you should not notice the transition to the new long distance service. We have a very high retention rate for customers switching, and so we expect to have you as a customer for a long time -- we will work HARD to meet your expectations.

Note that until you physically sign the Application For Service form and send it to us (mail/fax), we will not switch you to the new long distance telephone service.

^*The fine print (the legal stuff):

In applying for service, certain restrictions may apply; savings may vary depending on what are your current rates. Charges will be billed by Norcom and there is no monthly service charge unless your monthly bill is < $20, then a $3.95 charge is applied.

Rates quoted are for interstate calls only. You can make intrastate, intraLATA, and international calls at other low Norcom rates. All domestic calls to the 48 contiguous states are billed in 6 second billing increments with a 30 second minimum. International calls are billed in 6 second billing increments with a 30 second minimum. Calling card calls are billed in 6 second billing increments with an 6second minimum and no per-call surcharge on calls. For toll-free numbers and calling cards, calls made from a pay phone incur a 35 cent per call charge plus the quoted interstate or intrastate rate. All rates subject to change.

End of the fine print (the legal stuff).
