Yes, they advertise the entire string for using Allnet's secondary carrier code. Presumably, someone with Allnet for 1+ service could start with 1-700-. I'm not about to shell out to try them, so I don't know what would happen if one tried to reach them through any other carrier, nor can I say whether people with established Allnet accounts would see the charges on the Allnet bill or the bill from the LOC. "Locally" means WFLD-TV, channel 32, the Fox affiliate in Chicago.
