TYPES OF CALLS

Long Distance Direct Dialing Station

If you wish to pay for the long distance call from the phone you are using and when you will talk with anyone who answers, the call is station-to-station and should be dialed direct. Station to-station rates are lower than person-to-person and are lowest from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m., weekdays, all day Saturday and Sunday. Dial only 7 digits if you are calling within the 559 area. To place calls outside the area, dial 1 + area code + number.

International Direct Distance Dialing To dial international station-to-station calls, you will need to dial: 011 + The Country Code + The City Code + The Local Telephone Number For operator assistance, dial 00. For country codes and additional dialing information, please refer to pages 26 & 27 or dial 00. Long Distance Company Code Dialing You can use company code dialing when making any of the types of calls above. For instructions using company code dialing, see page 16.

Operator-Assisted Calls Person

Place a “person” call when you wish to talk only to a particular person or extension phone. Dial 0 + area code + number and tell the operator you wish to make a “person” call. Charging starts when conversation begins with the person called or anyone else agreed upon, or the extension. Rates are higher than station calls. Collect and Calls Charged to Another Number

You can call “collect” if the person or firm agrees to pay the charge. You can also bill charges to a third number. Place these calls by dialing 0 + area code + number. When the operator answers say you wish to “call collect” or “bill to a third number.” (Calls placed from a coin telephone and billed to a third number require acceptance from the third number before the operator may advance the call.) Conference You can talk with several people in different places at the same time. Dial 00 and ask for the Conference Operator. Mobile and Marine Service You can make Local and Long Distance calls to automobiles, trucks, trains, aircraft and boats equipped for telephone service. Dial 00 and ask for the Mobile Service Operator, or the Marine Operator, unless you’ve been instructed otherwise.
