Issue: Current Primary Rate Interface plan for phone services is digital and at a higher price than the new IP Flexible Reach Calling Plan. Long distance is at a higher rate with Department of Information Resources.

Solution: Securing contract with AT&T Corp IP Flexible Reach Calling Plan will provide phone service that is IP instead of digital and will be better quality. Plan cost includes long distance for majority of phone lines for the County.

Result: Webb County will have better quality service phone service with an estimate savings of $2,000 to $2,500 per month for phone service and long distance combined.
