FOREIGN EXCHANGE SERVICE (TELECOMMUNICATIONS)

In telecommunication, a 'foreign exchange service' (FX) is a network-provided service in which a telephone in a given local area is connected, via a private line, to a central office in another, ''i.e., "foreign",'' exchange, rather than the local exchange area's central office.
To call originators, it appears that the called party having the FX service is located in the foreign exchange area.
