Repair Service

Determine the Source of the Problem Before You Call BBT is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the telephone lines to your home or business. However, we are not responsible for the problem if the problem is in your tele- phone set. If we make a customer requested service call and deter- mine the problem is

• If the phones appear to be in good work- ing order, take a working phone to your Network Interface Device (Protector). The following is a drawing of your Protector, which is usually located on the outside wall of your home or business, near the electric meter. (It is where BBT’s lines and your inside telephone wiring connect, or interface.) Open the Protector by loosening the screw, then lift outer cover straight up. Remove the phone jack and insert the phone jack from your phone.

caused by your telephone set(s) and not by our facilities, you will be billed a premises visit charge of $45.00. In addition, you will be billed a maintenance of service charge of $75.00 per half hour, beginning from the time a technician is dispatched to the premises. Any fraction of a half hour will be computed as one half hour. If the trouble is not your telephone set but in the telephone line, you will not be charged a premises visit charge or any maintenance of service charge. Below are some ways to help you determine the source of your problem. • Look for symptoms like cracked plastic housing, broken or frayed cords or lights that don’t work. • If you have more than one phone, make sure each phone’s receiver is on the hook. If none of them are off the hook, unplug every phone. Then start plugging them back into the wall jacks one at a time, checking each phone for a dial tone as you go. The telephone set that causes the line to go dead is the broken one. • If you have just one phone, unplug it and borrow someone else’s. If the borrowed phone works, then the problem is in your telephone set.

If the problem remains the same when you plug in your phone at the Protector, the prob- lem is in your outside telephone lines. Please call 1-800-592-4781 for repair service. If the trouble is found in the telephone wiring inside your home, you can either: • Hire an electrical contractor, or • Save money by doing the work yourself.

Repair Service

Determine the Source of the Problem Before You Call

If It’s Your Phone… Leave the broken telephone unplugged and contact the company you purchased or leased it from for the repair. BBT is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the telephone lines to your home or business. It is important to try to make sure the problem is not in your telephone set, because if we come out and find the problem is in your set, you will be charged a $45.00 premise visit fee and an additional $75.00 per half hour mainte- nance of service fee for each repair visit. If the problem is not in your telephone set, call toll free 1-800-592-4781 .

If It’s BBT’s Line… Again, if you’ve determined that the trouble is not in your telephone set but in the telephone line, please call BBT for repair service. If you have reported that you are unable to make or receive calls and your line is out of order for 24 hours or longer from the

time of the report, you are entitled to a credit on your next bill for part of the local service charges. If the adjustment doesn’t appear on your next bill, call your business office. To contact BBT’s repair service, call 1-800-592-4781 .

Long Distance Calling

BBT implemented IntraLATA Dialing Parity to provide you, the customer, with the option of selecting your carrier of choice to carry your IntraLATA 1+ and 0+ calls. A list of current carriers can be obtained from our business office. Once you have selected your carrier of choice for your IntraLATA calling, you will need to notify BBT of your decision. If you do not make an alternative selection, BBT will continue to be your IntraLATA carrier. If you change your carrier, a $12.75 change charge will apply.

Long Distance Calling

• Can you receive credit for bad connec- tions or wrong numbers? If so, how do you request credit? • How and when will you be billed? Will you be receiving a separate bill for the long distance company’s charges? Are charges itemized? • Does the long distance company begin charging for a call when it is answered or when it starts ringing?

BBT offers a service called equal access. Equal access will allow you to make long distance calls using the long distance com- pany of your choice by simply dialing 1 + the number. Selecting Your Long Distance Company You are given the opportunity to make your selection of a long distance company. Although BBT cannot recommend which long distance company is right for you, we are offering the following information to assist you in making your selection. Here are some questions you may want to ask when selecting a long dis- tance company. • What are the long distance company’s rates? Are there any discount rate periods? What are the rates for the time periods and places you call most often? • Are there monthly fees? Initial set-up charges? Minimum monthly charges? • Does the long distance company offer operator assistance? Can you make collect or credit calls using their ser- vice? Do they offer directory assistance? International calling? • Can you call anywhere using the long distance company’s service or is it only available when calling certain areas? • If you experience trouble using the long dis- tance company’s service, is there a toll free or local number available to report the problem? • Will someone be available to assist you 24 hours a day?

You may access the long distance company you have selected by dialing 1+ or 0+ the telephone number for all calls. A list of long distance companies that are available to BBT customers may be obtained by contacting our business office.

1+

You may also make calls using a long distance company other than the one you have selected to handle your 1+ calls by dialing the appropriate seven digit (101 XXXX) access code for that company. You will need to establish an account with each long distance company you wish to use. Each long distance company can provide you with their appropriate access code. All toll calls carried by any of the long distance service providers will be billed by them. Billing inquiries should be directed to the long distance provider’s customer assistance numbers noted on the bills you will receive. The following types of long distance calls are available through BBT for calls that are within the Midland LATA. Information about the types of calls available outside the Midland LATA can be obtained by contacting your selected long distance company.

Direct Distance Dialing Direct dial if you wish to talk with anyone who answers. Rates for calls that you dial yourself are lower than for calls dialed by the operator. Charging begins when the called telephone is answered in person or by an automatic answering machine. • To call within your area code dial 1 + Area Code + Telephone Number • To call outside your area code dial 1 + Area Code + Telephone Number Directory Assistance To obtain a directory listing within your local calling area: Dial 1 411 To obtain a directory listing within Area Code 432: Dial 432-555-1212

BBT customers receive three free local (1+411 and 1+555-1212) directory assistance calls per month. There will be a charge for each directory assistance call thereafter.

Credit for Wrong Numbers and Poor Connections If you dial a wrong number, call the “0” Operator (if you are calling inside the Midland LATA – See shaded area on map page 12), or call the “00” operator (if you are calling outside the Midland LATA – See shaded area on map page 12), and give the number you attempted to reach. In most cases, you’ll be credited for the call. Once in a while you may get a bad connection or be cut off on a long distance call. Both parties should hang up and the one who placed the call should dial the “0” or “00” Operator and explain the trouble. The operator will get you a better connection and have the charge adjusted appropriately as per the long distance companies’ policy.

You have rights we’d like you to know about (under the Federal Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act). Charges for 900 mes- sages are for non-telecommunication services. You should not be billed for Pay-Per-Call ser- vices not offered in compliance with federal laws and regulations. If you orally communicate an allegation of a billing error via the toll free number on the 900 bill page, it will be consid- ered sufficient notification of a billing error. For billing disputes or inquiries, please call your local exchange carrier at 1-800-592-4781 . You have 60 days after receiving a bill to dispute a billing error. You have the right to withhold pay- ment of the disputed charges during the billing error review. No collection activity for disputed charges will occur while the charges are under investigation. After investigation, if it is deter- mined that the disputed charges are legitimate, the long distance carrier or the information provider may proceed with outside collections against your account. Your local and long distance service cannot be disconnected for non-payment of 900 charges. Failure to pay legitimate 900 charges may result in invol- untary blocking of your access to 900 ser- vices. Voluntary blocking of access to 900 services is available upon request from your local exchange carrier.

Number Changes The telephone company reserves the right to, and may, at its discretion, change the customer’s telephone number. Handling Unwanted Phone Calls

If you do not want to talk to a person selling a product or ser- vice by telephone, just say “no thank you,” and hang up. 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.
