Local Calling Plans
If you make your phone calls within your own local calling area, then
you should get the local calling plan because you get more anytime minutes
for the same price. Think of the phone as your home phone you can use
on the streets. A local plan usually covers the local area and its greater

carrier will list your local coverage area, which is generally larger
than that of your land phone coverage area in local calling.
