Local measured service. A pricing structure for local calls which requires customers to pay according to usage, rather than simply paying a flat monthly fee. LMS generally combines access (fixed rate) and usage (variable rate) charges. The access charge is usually set at a rate substantially less than the prevailing flat rate and may include a usage allowance. Usage charge calculations are typically based on up to four variables: frequency (the number of calls placed); duration (how long calls last); the geographic distance the call covers; and the time of day or week the call was placed.
