Toll Charges for 318 Area Code Phone Numbers

It has recently come to our attention that people who live in the 318 area code are being charged for toll calls even though the call was made within the state of Louisiana. We are outraged by this discovery and want to ensure that everyone affected knows their legal rights.If you have been charged for a toll call that you made within Louisiana, you may be able to get your money back. Under the state's "Toll-Free Calling Act," companies are not allowed to charge customers for toll calls made within the state. This means that if you can prove that you made a toll call within Louisiana, you are entitled to a refund.

To get your money back, you will need to contact the company that charged you for the toll call. Be sure to have your account information ready, as well as the date and time of the call. You will also need to know the telephone number that you called.

Once you have contacted the company, they should issue you a refund. If they do not, you may need to take legal action. You can find more information on our website, or by contacting our office.
