Dial-around

The easiest way to shift your intralata traffic from your local carrier to your long-distance carrier is to use the newly popular dial-around techniques. This works the same way autodialers work, except the caller is manually dialing the CIC instead of the autodialer. This solution never works with a larger company, because the cost of training the staff outweighs the savings. For a small office with few employees, however, this can be a very effective way to trim intralata billing.
