ANOTHER Step BACKWARDS - NO, You CANNOT SEE Your LOCAL Calling Area ONLINE !!

[konabish]

Why check your LOCAL calling area? TO SAVE Yourself MONEY. If you can check the calling area quickly, you can tell if it will be a TOLL CALL. Sure, this is not an issue depending on your calling plan. It is to a lot of folks like me; and you may be calling from a different phone at times.

Up until at least January 2008 you could EASILY determine your LOCAL CALLING AREA on Verizon's website by entering your phone number. The link WAS

http://www22.verizon.com/CallingAreas/localCallFinder/LocalExchangesList.htm , but NO MORE.

I SUSPECT it was discontinued because Verizon realized that by making a MONEY-SAVING 'device'

easily available was NOT GOOD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE.

I went thru all of Verizon's hoops to get an answer, but they have their roadblocks firmly planted.

Their is A LOT OF JUSTIFICATION for CONSUMER REPORTS to give its highest ratings to Verizon's SERVICES...... WHILE AT THE SAME TIME RATING THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE "DREADFUL".
