HTC Local Telephone Service
| Measured Extended Area Service (MEAS) |
Calls Outside Your Local Calling Area Just Got Easier
When HTC first introduced its MEAS (Measured Extended Area Service) calling plan a few years ago, the response from customers was extremely positive. For the first time ever, customers could make calls to designated exchanges outside their normal local calling area at rates that were considerably lower than long distance rates. Now HTC's MEAS calling plan is designed with several options to save you even more on your phone bill. And, you'll be glad to hear that it's simple to understand and use.

No Bands, Connection Charges, or Clock Watching
HTC's MEAS calling plan eliminates initial connection fees and calling bands, and charges are not based on the distance between calling destinations or the time the call is placed. Simply choose a MEAS calling plan from the chart below that suits your calling needs. Please keep in mind that this plan only affects MEAS dialing. MEAS rates apply to calls made to exchanges within Horry and Georgetown Counties that are not included in your local dialing area. Local calls are, and will continue to be, included in the monthly basic rate charge. |

MEAS Advantage meets the needs of customers who dial MEAS exchanges sporadically. MEAS Value and MEAS Select are designed for customers who make many MEAS calls in a month or who have consistency in their monthly calling patterns. Customers are encouraged to speak with an HTC Customer Service Representative when selecting an option. To reach a Customer Service Representative, call (843) 365-2154.
Initially, all customers will be placed on the MEAS Advantage option and will retain that service unless a different option is chosen. If another option is chosen, the new plan will take effect on your next billing date. Customers who choose a MEAS Value plan should understand that minutes cannot be carried over from month to month. |
Measured Regional Service (MRS) |
Call Anywhere in the Pee Dee for 3¢ A Minute
In addition to MEAS calling, HTC also offers MRS (Measured Regional Service). As a matter of fact, with HTC's MRS you can call anywhere in the Pee Dee region for a flat rate of 3¢ per minute and no monthly fee.
HTC's MRS service allows you to dial Pee Dee destinations outside your calling area without having to use a long-distance carrier. You only have to dial the seven-digit number to be connected. HTC customers can use MRS to direct dial numbers in Williamsburg, Marion, Florence, Dillon, Marlboro, Darlington, Chesterfield, and parts of Lee and Clarendon counties. |
