Fusion Analog Voice

All residential Sonic phone lines have unlimited nation-wide calling and to 70 countries worldwide. 7-digit dialing (for calls within your area code) is supported in areas without an area code overlay. You can check this list, and if your area code is listed with another, then you are living in an area with an overlay and must use 10-digit dialing. You must dial +1 when using 10-digit dialing. Global calling rates are the same for both business and residential lines. Additional taxes and fees related to Fusion voice service are applied on a per line basis.
