Under ANSA, customers who reside in areas where the central office switch does not support ISDN can be serviced from a neighboring central office at no additional charge. From the customer's perspective, ISDN is readily available and affordable, but the customer MUST agree to migrate to the local central office if and when service becomes available. In most cases this will involve a change in phone number. This agreement pertains to Bell South customers only.
