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, most users should dial 9 + 1 then the 10-digit telephone number including the area code (XXX-XXX-XXXX). PBX users should check with their local PBX administrator for dialing instrucions.
