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. You can add other phone numbers if you wish: Additional Residence Listings are for other people in your house- hold with different last names. 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 listing can be corrected in future directories. Telephone Relay Service The Telephone Relay Service is available any time night or day, seven days a week. ATRS calls can be place to anywhere in the United States as well as internationally to English-speaking persons. Here is how ATRS works: Someone who is deaf, hard-of-hearing or has a speech disability types on a Text Telephone (TTY/TDD). An ATRS Communications Assistant (CA) reads the message to the hearing person at the other end of the line. The CA then types the hearing per- son’s words back to the TTY/TDD user. Each call ATRS handles is held strictly confidential, and no record of a conversation is kept. Speech-to-Speech (STS) Relay Service, which allows speech-dis- abled persons with a voice synthesizer to complete calls, is only available through ATRS by dialing 1-800-229-5746. PLEASE NOTE: 7-1-1 is ONLY to be used to call ATRS.
