Not like any cell phone does. My land line is unlimited but only for my
area code. Long distance is a separate thing...pay so much a month
whether you use it or not, then so much per minute when you do use it.
Total ripoff. My landline is Verizon.

My mom has unlimited LD calls like normal people do so she calls me each
Saturday morning and we talk for a couple of hours. No charge for me
since it's an incoming call and no charge for her since she has unlimited.

The only long distance person I can call is my daughter. She bought her
cell phone here years ago so she has the local area code (757).
