well to answer part of your question different companys like Qwest & SBC call things Somewhat different
Qwest calls 1FB, "One Full Business Line" this is basically just what it sounds, One Analog line for a business to call in on or call out on, this is also referred to a "POTS" in some instances. a Line can have no features i.e. "plain old telephone service" or you can have things like Call waiting, conferance calling call forwarding Etc, the other's are 1MB for "one measured business" this is simular to 1FB but the Cost is Generally Cheaper, there is also a code for Payphones which I believe is "1SP" with "Local Access" I'm not quite sure what you are referring but perhaps you are referring to dialing Log Distance this is determined by the LPIC & PIC for instance if you have NONE for pic & lpic you would not be able to make a long distance call on the given line, otherwise. What you have depends on your CSR or "Customer Service record" different carriers call it different things but it is a collection of what lines you have and where you have them, as well as what features are on the lines, for any business it is Important to review it periodically to prevent Slamming/cramming Etc so it doesn't go undiscovered,

A Business Line can be a 1MB, 1ML, 1FB, 1FL, TMB, TM2, etc. These all indicate a different business class of service. The '1' indicates single party, the 'M' indicates measured useage, the 'B' indicates business or 'L' indicates line (the term LINE came about during the late 1970s when CPE became popular, or a line ordered with no phone), the 'F' indicates flat or no measured local useage, the 'T' indicates trunk (assured transmission in PB land). In 1FR the 'R' indicates residence. These are also called USOC codes used by the Bell System and later the RBOCs and some independants. The acronym 'USOC' means universal service order code. These codes are used to order and provision service for the subscribers.
The term 'local access' can have several meanings related to the local loop or the connection to the CO or a service provider or the LEC portion of service.
Hope this helps!
