# Telnyx expands local calling presence

[Release notes](https://telnyx.com/release-notes)

# Telnyx adds local calling in 14 countries

### 21, Mar 2023

We recently added local calling services to 14 additional countries–Albania, Argentina, Bosnia And Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Chile, Costa Rica, Georgia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Serbia and Thailand.

Local calling is the ability to pass calls over a national network and present numbers in the local format. Local calling gives calling parties using Telnyx CLIs the ability to guarantee localized CLI. Local calling typically provides increased quality, higher ACD (Average Call Duration) and reduced PDD (Post-dial delay).

You can get started with local calling from Telnyx by [signing in](https://portal.telnyx.com "Mission Control Portal") to your Mission Control Portal account and [purchasing a number](https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/search-numbers "Number Search and Order") from any of the 48 markets where we offer this service.
