No dial tone? You pick provider
Prices for phone packages vary; call or log on for more details
By J.R. Gonzales, Caller-Times
As a result of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, consumers have more options now when choosing a local or long-distance telephone service provider.
Since then, several phone companies have made themselves available for residents and small businesses.
Today, Southwestern Bell isn't the only home phone provider for residents. Some companies have branched out to include cable and Internet services at varying rates.
The prices of most phone packages vary, depending on telephone usage.
