Rates

CellularLD has an extensive list of local access numbers so that customers can access the CellularLD network locally and pay a lower rate. A local Boston area access number is available and will be provided upon registration.

If you are traveling elsewhere in the United States where a local access number is not available, you may use CellularLD's toll-free access number. Note that you will pay a higher rate if you access the CellularLD network via the toll-free number.

See the CellularLD rate schedule for additional information, including the per-minute rates for local vs. toll-free access.
