Product Description

PopularChoice™ Packages allow residence end-users to choose flat residence lines and features from a menu of Custom Calling and Custom Local Area Signaling Services (CLASS™) features for a monthly rate. There are two different packages available for your end-user; PopularChoice and 2-Line PopularChoice.

PopularChoice allows residence end-users to choose one flat residence line and features and also offers discounted rates on optional products where these individual products are available.

2-Line PopularChoice allows residence end-users to choose two flat residence lines and features and also offers discounted rates on optional products on the first line where these individual products are available. Standard rates apply to features and optional products on the second line in the package.

PopularChoice is offered where CLASS features are available, except in ID-N.
