LINC

LINC (Louisiana Intercity Network for Communications) is a state-managed long distance system of leased telephone facilities. This system provides low cost service for calls made to any telephone in the continental United States. LINC is not a free service as each agency is billed monthly for its actual usage.

To  place a long distance call, the user should dial the LINC access code (usually "8") then the 10-digit telephone number (XXX-XXX-XXXX).

Do not use the LINC network for local or toll free calls.
