Expert: Spencer Holcombe Date: 8/3/2006 Subject: Local phone service?
Question Hi Spencer, I have phone servcice with Verizon and I can't stand them. Do you know of a plan for dial tone plus unlimited long distance? I'm in Santa Barbara, CA.
Thank you,
Answer Tom,
Since Verizon is your local telco, you only have 2 other options. 1. Using a VOIP (voice over internet protocall) service, or 2. Using your local cable company.
You can contact AT&T and others for VOIP service, and your cable company should be listed in your local directory.
