Definitions for "PIC Code"
an acronym for Primary intraLata Carrier (PIC) Code
a workaround for long distance call failures
Primary Inter Exchange Carrier - Long distance carrier to which traffic from a given location is automatically routed when dialing 1+ in equal access areas. The PIC is identified by a 5+ digit code which is assigned by an ILEC through Bellcore. The term is currently interchangeable with the CIC code. When a subscriber switches their long distance carrier, it is referred to as a PIC change or that they have “PIC'd” a new carrier.
