Overview
Foreign Exchange (FX) is designed to complement the XO Local Services offerings. It provides customers with local telephone numbers from an exchange (rate center) other than the exchange in which the physical location is situated. With FX, multiple rate centers are being served from the same XO switching platform and can be used to:
- Maintain a local presence in a nearby city or town
- Increase accessibility to existing and prospective customers
- Explore new markets before starting, relocating or expanding a business
- Help cut costs by reducing intraLATA long distance expenses
The demand for the Foreign Exchange Service is primarily due to the foreign exchange rate center having a different local calling area than the home rate center that a customer would have traditionally been assigned.
Features
- Typically configured as a two-way service, FX can also be set up as an inbound-only or outbound-only service
- Local identity with White Pages listing
- Available on the following XO Local Service access types: Business Lines, Centrex, Analog Trunks, Fractional Switched T-1s, Full Switched T-1s and ISDN-PRI
- The customer location rate center and the foreign rate center must be served by the same 911 selective router
- Local Calling Area and Usage Service rates that apply to FX are the same as those which regularly apply to other XO-provided Local Services bearing the same rate center designation
