foreign exchange (FX) service

A network-provided service in which a telephone in a given local exchange 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. Note: To call originators, it appears that the subscriber having the FX service is located in the foreign exchange area.
