Как правильно:
Domestic Long Distance Call Rates ?
или раздельно:
Domestic call rate / Long distance call rate ?

consider Trunk calls

Trunk vs Toll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

In the US, under the purview of the Bell System, local telephone calls were free except in a few big cities, and the term toll was adopted for long distance calls because they were subject to a toll.

In the UK all calls were chargeable and the term trunk was adopted for long distance calls. Initially all trunk calls had to be pre-booked and the operator called the subscriber back when the call could be put through. In 1921 the first toll exchange was opened which allowed the shorter distance trunk calls to be connected while the subscriber waited. The name toll was probably taken from US usage.

In the London telephone area calls to subscribers on non-director exchanges within local call charging range of the London director exchange area were carried by tandem exchange 'Toll A'; a subscriber would dial a prefix code, then the number of the other subscriber on the fringe non-director exchange. Calls from fringe non-director exchanges to numbers within the director area were passed in two ways. For those to director exchanges near the area boundary adjacent to the non-director exchange, subscribers were given codes to dial, and told to follow the code with the numerical portion of the other subscriber's number. For director exchanges remote from the area boundary, the subscriber was told to dial '7', to wait for a second dialling tone, and to follow this with the whole of the other number. These calls were handled by tandem exchange 'Toll B'; from here the second dialling tone originated. To have a second dialing tone in this way was very unusual on the PSTN in the UK, although the French PTT had a similar instruction for when their customers made international calls.

The distinction between trunk and toll became irrelevant when subscriber trunk dialling (STD) was introduced.

Надо так понимать, что из отрывка следует: director = телефонная барышня. :0)

lktr - первое, более универсально и в противовес International Long Distance Call

C другой стороны, international уже как бы сам по себе long distance...

Long distance in telecommunications, refers to telephone calls made outside a certain area, usually characterized by an area code outside of a local call area (known in the United States as a local access and transport area or LATA). Long-distance calls usually carry long-distance charges which, within certain nations, vary between phone companies and are the subject of much competition. International calls are calls made between different countries, and usually carry much higher charges. These calls are charged to the calling party unless the called party accepts a collect call.

In telephony, the term local call has the following meanings:

1. Any call using a single switching facility; that is, not traveling to another telephone network;
2. A telephone call made within a local calling area as defined by the Local exchange carrier;
3. Any call for which an additional charge, i.e., toll charge, is not billed to the calling or called party, or (depending on the country) for which this charge is reduced because it is a short-distance call (e.g. within a town or local metropolitan area).

Typically, local calls have shorter numbers than Long distance calls, as the area code is not required. However, this is not true in parts of the U.S. and Canada that are subject to overlay plans or many countries in Europe that require closed dialing.
