DEKALB TELEPHONE COOPERATIVE INC. DBA DTC COMMUNICATIONS

DeKalb Telephone Cooperative Inc (DTC) has been the local tele- phone company serving areas in Alexandria, Auburntown, Gordons- ville, Liberty, Milton, Norene, Smithville, Temperance Hall, Woodbury, and Woodland since 1951. We were created by local citizens to bring basic telephone service to these rural areas at a time when none ex- isted, owing to the higher costs and lack of profits in servicing rural areas of Tennessee.

We have served, and endeavor to continue to serve, both residen- tial and commercial customers in our rural communities with quality telecommunications services at competitive rates. In addition to our basic telephone services, we bring advanced tele- communications services to our rural communities, including Internet access, high speed data services, special calling features, voice mail, Tech Team service, TV and security.

CUSTOMER INFORMATION

Recognizing Telephone Company Employees Employees are normally dressed in a DTC uniformor have a name badge. Company service vehicles display DTC logos. You are encouraged to call our office at 615-529-2955 or Carthage Area at 615-588-1277 any time you have concerns about our employees or vehicles. Directory Information Looking for more business? Advertise in the telephone company’s Yel- low Pages. Call your local service office for information. Additional local directories may be obtained at your service office at a minimal charge. Directory Listings Your name will automatically be added to our White Pages when you have a phone installed unless you ask for an Unlisted Number. For a small monthly charge, you can add other phone numbers if you wish: • Additional Residence Listings for other names in your household. • Cellular Number Listings can be added along with your DTC res- idential listing. • Additional Business Listings can put your name as well as your business' name in the White Pages. • Alternate Call Listings give another phone number for after-hours calls or if there is no one to answer at the first phone number. Every effort is made to make the directory as accurate as possible. If an error occurs, please advise the service office so the listings can be corrected in future directories. Number Changes The telephone company reserves the right to and may, at its discre- tion, change the customer’s telephone number. Rates & Policies Copies of our rules and regulations and schedules of rates are avail- able at our corporate office and are open to public inspection. Use Of Residence Telephones For Business Purposes Residence telephones are installed with the understanding that they will be used for normal social or domestic purposes. A residence tele- phone will be changed to business service if used primarily or sub- stantially for business purposes, or if the residence telephone number is advertised in connection with the sale of products or services.

Handling Unwanted Phone Calls If you’re bothered by harassing or anonymous phone calls, try these techniques to discourage them: Always hang up immediately at the first obscene word or if the person on the other end of the line doesn’t respond after you’ve said “hello” twice. Don’t talk to the caller. This is what he or she wants you to do. Don’t give out any information or let the caller know if you’re alone. Teach your children to say, “Mom or Dad can’t come to the phone. May I take a message?” If the problem occurs continuously over an extended period, you should report it to your local law enforcement agency. Keep a record of the days and times of the calls, and note the caller’s sex, voice, accent, and comments. This information could assist the police. It is a crime to make harassing, obscene, or anonymous phone calls under both federal and state laws. (Refer to page 27 for information on Call Tracing. Reference page 38 for information on State and Federal Do-Not-Call Programs.) Prosecuting Fraudulent Callers It is illegal for another person to charge long distance calls to your number or calling card without your permission. People using unau- thorized calling cards or phone numbers to avoid charges are subject to prosecution and may be imprisoned, fined, or both. Calling Number Delivery FCC Regulations FCC Rules require the telephone companies to transmit the calling party’s telephone number to the called party on all interstate calls and to allow the customer to choose not to send this information on a call by call basis. If you do not wish to have your telephone number revealed to the individual you are calling, you must first dial *67 from a touch tone telephone or 1167 from a rotary telephone before placing your call.

Wiring Requirements for New Service General Recommendations 1. Use CAT-5 wire. Use the first pair (blue/white ) when connecting phone lines. a. Avoid wrapping wire around any pipes and wires. b. Wires should be run above electric wires and water pipes. c. Don’t splice into any other wire. d. Run wires from protector to jack location. e. Don’t staple wires when they are run on the inside of a wall. f. Never bury unapproved wire or let wire lay on the ground. g. Contractors may want to use an accessible junction point (4 or more wires) . h. Avoid putting station wires and/or jacks in damp places. i. It is required during new building construction, buried service being desired, that a conduit be placed in the ground. This conduit should be schedule 40 PVC and use 90 degree sweep L’s (not to exceed three) . A pull string should be placed in the conduit prior to DTC personnel arriving for installation. The conduit should be placed in a trench 2 ft. deep. The following conduit sizes are recommended: Residential........................................................................... 2 inch min. Business.............................................................................. 2 inch min. 2. When running wire through the wall to the outside, leave several feet of slack, protect and allow for growth by stubbing a conduit of sufficient size through exterior wall. Seal conduit with putty. Try to leave loose in case another wire needs to be run. Below are recommendations for various types of installations: Standard Installation 1. CAT-5 wiring, one wire from the NID to each jack. Internet Installation 1. CAT-5 wiring from the NID to the Internet modem. 2. CAT-5 Ethernet should be used from the modem to the computer or router. 3. Electrical connection is standard 2-wire plug with ground. 4. An Internet filter must be installed on every wire used for a phone. (This can also sometimes be done at the NID, depending on the installation.) IPTV Installation 1. Wiring is generally the same as for the Internet connection. 2. Use CAT-5 Ethernet from the Internet modem to each STB. 3. Use appropriate cable from STB to connected device (TV, DVD, etc.) . 4. Other options may also be available for unique installation issues (i.e. wireless, etc.) . Contact DTC for more information. For further information and sample wiring diagrams, please go to our website at www.DTCcom.net or visit any DTC Customer Care Center. DEFINITIONS NID - Network Interface Device - the box outside the house where the telco line connects to the inside wiring. STB - Set-Top Box - the digital TV channel selector device.

New Construction Not Sure About Wiring Needs?

TV entertainment, Internet, email, gaming & future services require a robust networking infrastructure to support them. Allow DTC to assist with your new home or business wiring construction. Contact us for a quote on professional & complete network installation. Contractors Contact us for complete network installation instructions & advice. Procedure For Checking Telephone Line To Determine If Trouble Is Inside Before going outside, please disconnect any cordless phones, an- swering machines, computer modems, or alarms systems since these type instruments can cause outages of service. Keep one instrument connected to test for working service. 1. When going outside to test, acquire a desk phone that has a mod- ular line cord and you are sure is in proper working condition. 2. Go to the network interface (should be located where the line attaches to the building and the inside wiring is connected to the outside line) , open the outside cover and look for a modular jack in the upper left-hand corner. This disconnects everything inside the building from the outside. Insert the plug from the telephone instrument with which you are testing. You should have dial tone and be able to make and receive calls if the trouble is inside the building. If this is the case, you may isolate the trouble to a particular station wire or jack inside by using the following procedure. a. Reconnect everything at the interface as it was before you started testing to determine if the trouble was inside or outside. b. If you have more than one station wire connected to the line, disconnect one station wire and check the others inside for dial tone. Continue this process until the defective station wire, jack or instrument has been identified. If the trouble is outside, notify DTC repair service to have a technician come and repair your line. Charges will apply for service calls when problem is in customer equipment or customer owned station wiring. Typical Network Interface Device Example: Your style may vary.

CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Toll Limitation Service (TLS) Toll Limitation Service (TLS) support allows eligible consumers who wish to avoid incurring large long distance fees to choose toll blocking or toll control at tariffed rates. Special Rates For Persons With Qualifying Disabilities Residential subscribers whose impairment (limited to total blindness or loss of both hands) renders them unable to complete a call on a rotary dial phone may receive touch-tone service without recurring monthly charges. In addition, those who qualify may also be exempt from directory as- sistance charges. Contact our office at 615-529-2955 for details. Car- thage Area customers call 615-588-1277 . Telecommunications Devices Access Program (TDAP) This program, implemented by the Tennessee Regulatory Authority, will distribute appropriate telecommunications devices so that per- sons who are deaf, deaf and blind, severely hard of hearing, severely hard of hearing and vision-impaired or severely speech-impaired may effectively use basic telephone service.

Devices are issued on a first-come, first-served basis, without charge. However, there are certain qualifiers that may enable individuals to receive devices on a priority basis. Information on distribution, eligi- bility requirements and qualifiers and an application may be found on the TRA website at www.tn.gov/tpuc/telecommunications- devices-access-programs-tdap.html or by calling TRA at 1-800- 342-8359 (V) or 1-888-276-0677 . Tennessee Relay Center Now you can dial 7-1-1 to reach the Tennessee Relay Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Tennessee callers who wish to reach people who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled may dial 7-1-1 for assistance from the Tennessee Relay Center. Hearing callers may still dial 1-800-848-0299 and text telephone users may still dial 1-800-848-0298 . There is no charge for dialing 7-1-1 , and all options currently available to Tennes- see Relay Center users through existing 800 numbers will continue to be available to 7-1-1 users. Here is how the Tennessee Relay Center works: a person who is deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled types his/her conversation using a text telephone (TDD/TTY). A Tennessee Relay Center Communica- tions Assistant (CA) relays the message by reading it to the hearing person at the other end. The CA then relays the hearing person’s spo- ken words by typing them back to the TDD/TTY user. Each call is handled in strict confidence. No record of the conversation is kept. The Center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and enables people to place relay calls between Tennessee and oth- er locations anywhere in the United States and internationally to English-speaking persons. Also, people who have a speech disability can utilize a service called Speech-to-Speech (STS) Relay through the Tennessee Relay Center with his/her own voice synthesizer, rather than using a TDD/TTY. To access Speech-to-Speech, call 1-866-503-0264 . A NOTE TO ALL TENNESSEE RELAY USERS Please note that 7-1-1 is only to be used to reach the Tennessee Relay Center. For Emergencies you should continue to use 9-1-1 .

EQUIPMENT INFORMATION

Use of the telephone during an electrical storm You should avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm in your immediate area; calls of an urgent nature should be brief. There is a remote risk of dangerous electrical shock from lightning when using the telephone during a nearby electrical storm. Use of the telephone to report a gas leak

Recording Or Monitoring Phone Calls Anyone who records or monitors a phone conversation is required to make this known to all parties in the conversation. The party doing the monitoring must ask for the other person’s permission to record or monitor the conversation. When using the public utility telephone network: A. All parties in the conversation must consent to the conversations being recorded or monitored; and B. The monitoring or recording must be signaled by either: 1. a “beep tone” audible to all parties and repeated at regular intervals during the conversation; or 2. clearly and permanently marking the telephones being used that the conversation may be recorded without notice. Attachments To Telephone Equipment Attachments connected to the telephone company’s lines must be in compliance with company tariffs and Federal Communications Com- mission regulations. Telephone Safety The telephone is one of the safest appliances in your home or office. There are, however, a few situations where a telephone user needs to be cautious. Use of the telephone near water The telephone should not be used while you are in the bathtub, show- er or pool. Immersion of the telephone or handset in water could cause electrical shock.

If you think you have found a gas leak, you should not use a telephone in the vicinity of the leak until the leak is repaired. The telephone contains electrical contacts that could gen- erate a tiny spark when you lift the handset and dial. While unlikely, it may be possible for this spark to trigger an explosion if the gas con- centration is high enough.

The amount of your deposit is determined when you apply for service. You Will Be Billed For Changes In Your Service Most changes require a service charge. The amount you are charged depends on the type of change requested. Consult your sales repre- sentative for different services. Your Telephone Bill How You Are Billed Charges for local service and equipment are billed one month in ad- vance. Long distance calls and repair charges are billed after they have been incurred.

How, When, & Where To Pay Your Bill Your payment is due upon receipt of your bill. Your payment is consid- ered past due if not paid in accordance with terms stated on your bill. You can pay online at www.DTCcom.net , mail your payment, pay by bank draft or credit card or pay your bill at your local service office. In addition, some of our area banks accept telephone bill payments*. You can save time if you use your payment portion of your bill when paying in person. There is a charge for each returned check.

Error On Your Bill You should always review your bill carefully. If you have a charge you’re not sure of or a question on your bill, call your local representa- tive. Explain the possible error to the representative who will help you. If the error cannot be resolved, please pay the undisputed charges on time so you’ll maintain a good payment record while the problem is being investigated. Objections must be received by the Cooperative within thirty (30) days after the bill is rendered. Paying The Bill On Time So Your Service Will Not Be Disconnected If your payments are not received by the due dates, or you do not meet your mutually agreed upon payment arrangements, your tele- phone service may be disconnected. How To Get Your Service Restored All past due charges must be paid before your service can be recon- nected, and you will be charged a restoration fee. You may be asked to pay a deposit. * Must be paid five (5) days prior to due date.

County Wide Calling DTC provides County Wide Calling which allows you to call without charge to other subscribers outside your local calling area, but within your county, by dialing 1+615+XXX+XXXX. Calls that do NOT qualify for County Wide Calling include those to and from pay phones, cellu- lar phones, WATS lines, remote call forwarding numbers, Foreign Ex- change service and 800 numbers. Other restrictions may apply, based on your intraLATA carrier’s calling plan. It should also be noted that many Internet Service Providers establish a Remote Call Forwarding number for access to their services. You should contact your carrier for details concerning any County Wide Calling inquiries. Metro Area Calling DTC provides Metro Area Calling to subscribers located in counties which are contiguous to Davidson County. This means that DTC subscribers located in Rutherford or Wil- son Counties get toll free calling to AT&T’s Metro landline exchanges. Calls should be dialed using ten digits. Metro

Exception To The Above Calling Plans With Local Number Portability and Number Pooling having been im- plemented, there may be exceptions to the plans. Number porting and number pooling allow DTC numbers to be assigned through other local service providers in certain cases. When this happens, the calling plan for that carrier, rather than the DTC plan, applies. Likewise, numbers may be ported into DTC from other local service providers, in which case the DTC local calling plan would replace that of the previous service provider. Local Number Portability and Number Pooling can also affect calls dialed by DTC subscribers. If the number you are calling has been ported or pooled, it may or may not be a local call. Please call DTC or your local toll carrier for specific questions.

Tennessee Area Code Map

Area Calling does NOT apply to wireless phones and other carriers, even though they may have the same prefix as AT&T’s landline. Any dialed number requir- ing eleven digit dialing may have charges incurred.

LONG DISTANCE

Long Distance service within a specific geographic area, re- ferred to as the Local Access Transport Area or LATA, is provid- ed by the local toll carrier unless you have specified a different intralata carrier. This map reflects the Nashville LATA, com- prised of counties in the 615, 629, and 931 area codes. For calls terminating outside the Nashville LATA, you must choose another long distance carrier, referred to as your Pre- subscribed Interexchange Carrier, or PIC. If you wish to change your interexchange carrier, you may do so by contacting our business office. There will be a charge for changing carriers after you have made your initial selection. You may also choose to freeze your PIC choice to eliminate the possibility of being switched to another carrier without your authorization. You may access the long distance company you have selected by dialing 1 + or 0 + the telephone number for calls outside the LATA. A list of long distance companies that are available to DTC Communications customers may be obtained by contact- ing our business office. Questions regarding these companies’ rates and services can be answered by contacting the long dis- tance companies directly. You may also make calls using a long distance company other than the one you have selected to handle your 1 + calls by dial- ing the appropriate seven-digit access code (101XXXX) for that company. You will need to establish an account with each long distance company you wish to use. Each long distance compa- ny can provide you with their five-digit access code.
