Verizon Long Distance


With their far-reaching wholly owned local-to-global-to-local network, Verizon Voice Services can provide your business with advantages not currently available from any other company in the communications industry. While many of their competitors must transport some portion of their customers’ voice traffic over leased facilities or via resale, which could result in higher rates and lower quality, Verizon can carry calls from your office to many major business centers worldwide –all on their wholly owned intelligent global network.

One of several products under Verizon Voice Services, Verizon Outbound Long Distance includes all domestic and international calls placed outside of your local calling area. Whether you are phoning an associate across town or on the other side of the world, Outbound Long Distance is by far one of the most efficient and cost effective ways to call.
