MapInfo CallingAreaInfo quickly calculates a comprehensive analysis that allows users to easily identify and understand local calling areas and plans without spending weeks pouring over reams of cryptic tariff and regulatory data. This product delivers data that is instantly meaningful to organizations, such as telecommunications service providers, to quickly take action.

CallingAreaInfo maps the local calling plans available to business and residential customers when calling out from or into a location. Calling plans are the rate structures that determine which phone numbers can call which other phone numbers and at what rates. Most Local Exchange Carriers (LECs) offer more than one calling plan for each NPA/NXX combination they serve. CallingAreaInfo also distinguishes local calls based on cost and status, including Free, Toll, Time of Day and Holiday.

CallingAreaInfo allows the user to visualize the calling area from two perspectives: Examine the local calling plan for calls that originate from a location (exchange), also called outbound calling areas and Identify and map the exchanges that include a specific location (exchange) in their calling plans, also called inbound calling areas.
