local call

An imprecise term describing a telephone call that is local, rather than long distance, in nature.

Such a call incurs no distance-sensitive long distance, or toll, charges, although there may be a charge per call or per minute, perhaps for calling activity that exceeds a threshold. A local call typically is confined to a metropolitan area or a central office exchange (COE) area.
