Our landline carrier is Sprint. What we have done is declare Sprint to
be our LD carried BUT have not selected any play. We obviously use our
cell phones or LD calling cards for long distance.

This effectively gives us the "no" LD carrier although you do have to
be carefull not to accidently dial LD. On the other hand it does mean
that in an emergency we can dial LD from our landline phone. Expensive
but a nice piece of insurance.
