Local Phone Service

You now have an alternative to BellSouth for local phone service. We are now providing local service as a direct competitor of BellSouth. You can save 10-25% every month off your current phone bill by choosing TelAmerica as your local provider.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed for competition with BellSouth and the other Bell operating companies in offering local line service. To facilitate competition in Louisiana, the Public Service Commission allows resellers to buy your BellSouth service at a discount. Then your existing BellSouth service is provided to you, by us, with cost savings.

Local service is available to both business and residential customers. We offer the following benefits:

• Prices at 10-25% below Bell rates for local line features
• No cost to switch
  
• Keep the same phone numbers
• No service interruption
• Keep same options (Local Option, Caller ID, Call Return, Call Waiting, etc.)
• If BellSouth lowers a rate, your rate will also be lowered to maintain your discount
• One-source billing for local line and long distance charges

Remember, no physical changes will affect your phone service. Your existing BellSouth service is simply being resold to you by TelAmerica.

Although BellSouth is still physically providing the service, TelAmerica is acting as your local service provider. We maintain a 24 hour customer service department which will handle any line trouble, additions or deletions to your service and billing questions.

Currently, we can only offer local service to customers of BellSouth. Individuals with local service by another company do not quality for this offer.

If you are interesting in switching your local service or have any questions, please contact one of our qualified sales representative at 800-324-1500. Call now and start saving today.
