General Business Service • Tariffs • Bills • Charges

Tariffs And Rules Cal-Ore’s current tariffs, on file with the California Public Utilities Commission, and consumer pro- tection rules for telephone service and facili- ties are available for public inspection in our Business Office. Payment Of Telephone Bills All telephone bills are mailed on approximate- ly the first of the month. Bills are due upon presentation and are delinquent fifteen days thereafter. Delinquent accounts will be advised of a disconnect date by means of a “Temporary Disconnect” notice. Late Payment Charge A late payment charge is applicable if payment is not received in our office by the 15th of every month. The late payment charge of 1.5% will be applied to an unpaid balance of $5.00 or more, with a minimum of $0.30. Neither the billing or payment of late charges relieves the customer of the obligation to pay all charges prior to the due date of the bill. Failure to pay charges (i.e., basic flat rate sin- gle line service charges including all mandated surcharges and taxes) may result in a discon- nection of telephone service. Basic Service is defined in D. 96-10-066, Appendix B, page 5. Other services, such as the ability to make toll calls, may be restricted if not paid. Optional services may be disconnected. If service is disconnected for non-payment, a reconnection charge and/or applicable deposit If you have a question or complaint about your service or billing, please call the customer service number on your telephone bill, 530- 397-2211.
