Telephone Repair Service
Chickasaw Telephone is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the service lines to your home. If you need repair, try to determine if the problem is in your wiring, jacks, devices or our service lines. If we make a service call and determine the problem is caused by your telephone set, inside wiring or other devices and not our facilities, you may be billed for a service call. First make sure your receiver is on the hook. If we discover your receiver is off the hook, you may be billed for a service call even if someone else reported the trouble. Unplug each telephone and test each one by plugging into the Network Interface Box on the outside of your home. The Network Interface Box has a test jack to help locate trouble in the line. The telephone that tests dead or no dial tone is the bad phone. Leave the bad phone unplugged. If all
If you have reported that you are unable to make or receive calls, and your line is out of order for more than 24 hours from the time of the report (and the trouble is on Chickasaw Telephone), you are entitled to a credit on your next bill for part of the local service charges. Broadband Service Issues For repair issues for your broadband please check your devices to make sure they’re connected correctly. If you continue to have issues, please contact our Help Desk Support Line at 800-687-0173. The Help Desk can help detect if the issue is in the customer’s equipment or in our service lines. In some cases, the Help Desk may be able to solve the issue over the phone with you. If the Help Desk finds the trouble is in our service lines, they will escalate your trouble ticket back to Chickasaw Telephone’s Repair Department.
phones tested do not have a dial tone at the Network Interface Box, then the trou ble may be in Chickasaw Telephone Company lines, and you should contact our repair service.

Important Information Regarding Relay Oklahoma Relay Oklahoma:
Relay Oklahoma is a public service that guaran tees all citizens access to prompt, professional and accurate communication through a tele phone. Consumers of these specialized services, specifically individuals who are deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing or have difficulty speaking, can communicate on the telephone via TTY, Voice Carry Over (VCO), Hearing Carry Over (HCO), Speech-to-Speech (STS), Spanish and Captioned Telephone. This helps ensure the abil ity to connect with family, friends or businesses with ease. How Relay Oklahoma works: Dial 711 to connect with Relay Oklahoma. A qualified Communication Assistant (CA) will ask for the area code and the number of the person you wish to call and will begin relaying the con versation. Generally, the CA will voice the typed message from the text telephone (TTY) user to the person on the other end. The CA then relays the spoken words by typing them back to the TTY user. Specialized Services: Relay Oklahoma offers specialized services for individuals who have difficulty speaking, includ ing Spanish-speaking residents. Specially trained CAs are on hand to assist in these types of calls by dialing the associated number provided on this page. Since Relay Oklahoma offers a variety of services, please refer to the website listed or contact Relay Oklahoma Customer Care for more detailed instruction on how a particular call is processed. Captioned Telephone: Captioned Telephone is ideal for any individual that has a loss of hearing but is still able to speak for themselves. A captioned telephone works like any other telephone with one essential dif ference: it allows users to listen to their phone conversations while reading captions of what’s said to them. Access to Services: 711 provides toll-free access to relay services. If you are experiencing trouble dialing 711 when trying to reach Relay Oklahoma, please contact Relay Oklahoma Customer Care.
All TRS and English Captioned Telephone ser vices are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Spanish Captioned Telephone is avail able daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. CST.

Special Points of Interest: Equipment Distribution Program
If you want to learn about the Oklahoma Equipment Distribution Program, please call 866-309-1717. You may also visit https://oklahoma.gov/okdrs/indepen dence/hearing/edp.html . Emergency Calls Please note that 711 can only be used to reach Relay Oklahoma. In an EMERGENCY, you should continue to use 911. For emergencies, call 911 or your local emergency service TTY number directly. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that all 911 centers have a TTY and are prepared to handle emergency calls placed in this manner. Relay Oklahoma will make every effort to assist you in an emergency. However, it is important to understand that relay centers are not 911 centers and do not assume responsibility for emergency calls.

Helpful Facts
Fraudulent Charges It is illegal to charge any calls to another per son’s telephone number or use a calling card without his/her permission. Persons placing such calls are subject to pros ecution and, if convicted, are subject to a fine and/or imprisonment. Harassing Calls State and federal laws make it a crime to place obscene or harassing calls. The penalty is a fine and/or imprisonment. Obscene Or Annoying Calls We hope it does not happen, but if you should receive obscene, abusive, or threatening calls, here are some guidelines to follow: • Just remember, you control your phone, not the caller. So, hang up at the first obscene word. Also, hang up if the caller remains silent after the second time you say hello. • Do not give your name or address until the caller has been properly identified. • Advise your children or guests not to give out any information about who is at home when you are away. Simply ask the caller to leave a message or to call back. • If unwanted calls persist, call Chickasaw Telephone Company at 1-800-344-3401. Unlawful Wiretapping It is a crime under federal and state laws to wire tap or otherwise intercept a phone call unless the consent of one or both of the parties actu ally participating in the call has been obtained. (The exceptions are properly authorized law enforcement offices, acting under court order, according to state and federal laws.) The pen alty for illegal wiretapping can be a fine and/or imprisonment.
Phone Safety Tips Your telephone is one of the safest appliances in your home or office. All the same, there are a few precautions you can take: • Do not use the phone while in the bathtub, shower or swimming pool. A phone dropped in water could cause an electrical shock. • Avoid using your telephone during electrical storms. In case of emergency, make the call as brief as possible during these storms. • If you suspect a gas leak, report it at once, using a telephone away from the area in ques tion. A phone’s electrical contacts can create tiny sparks when you dial that, although unlike ly, could ignite concentrations of gas. Digging Or Drilling - Call Okie Hours 6:00 am – 6:00 pm, Monday-Friday Before you attempt any digging or drilling on your property, please contact Call Okie to avoid damage to your service line and other under ground lines. If you don’t contact Call Okie and you cut your service line, Chickasaw may apply charges for the repair of the cut line. You can contact Call Okie by dialing 811 or 1-800-522-OKIE (6543).

Billing Rights
Dear Chickasaw Telephone Company Customers,
If it is determined that no billing error occurred, your rights and obligations are as follows: We will transmit to you an explanation setting forth the reasons why it has been determined that there was no error. If there was an error—even a partial error or an error different than what you asserted— your account will be adjusted appropriately. If you request, we will provide a written expla nation and copies of any documentary evi dence of the customer indebtedness. This action will be taken within two months after your notice is received. If you sent your notice to your long distance company, there may be an additional time of up to fifteen days to complete the necessary responsive action. Your long distance company will notify the provider of the service of the disposition of the billing error investigation and the reasons for that disposition. Your local telephone company will notify you in writing, normally within your billing statement, of the time when payment is due of that por tion of the disputed amount that is determined not to be in error. Payment must be made in the normal course of billing or as otherwise provided, but not less than ten days after the request for payment is made. Once your local telephone company and your long distance company have complied with FTC Rule #308.7 (d) regarding a claim you make of billing error, there is no further respon sibility under that section if you continue to make substantially the same claim. You cannot be charged for a billing review. Failure to pay the amount determined not to have been the result of a billing error may subject you to a collection action. If either we, or your billing entity, or your long distance company, as a billing entity, fail to follow the billing and col lection procedures prescribed by # 308.7 of the Federal Trade Commission rule implementing the Federal Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act, we are obligated to forfeit any disputed amount, up to $50.00 per transaction .
The Federal Communications Commission has made several new rulings regarding 900 pay-per call service. Because of these rulings, the long distance companies for which we do the billing have requested that we give you the following information.
Statement Of 900 Billing Error Rights
The following document outlines your rights regarding telephone-billed purchases made using interstate 900 pay-per-call services that are billed to you through your local telephone company. Your rights, the rights of your telephone compa ny, and those of your local telephone company of a billing error and the steps that we or your long distance company must take in response to your notice: You may provide notice of a billing error to your local telephone company in writing. You should include the following in your written notice: (1) Give us your name or the customer’s name and telephone number to which the charge was billed; (2) Tell us the date and amount of the error, and the type of error you believe occurred; and (3) Tell us why you believe it was an error. You should contact your local telephone compa ny first, since we have an agreement to receive billing error notifications from customers. You may, however, contact your long distance com pany if you wish. You have the right to withhold payment of any disputed amount (relating to 900 billing) pending completion of our billing review, and any action to collect that disputed amount will be suspend ed pending completion of the billing review. You should not be billed for pay-per-call services not offered in compliance with Federal laws and regulations.

Call Waiting How It Works:
Three-Way Calling How It Works:
Call Waiting lets you know someone is trying to call you while you’re using the telephone. You can put the first caller on hold and answer the second call. To Use Call Waiting: 1. When you’re on a call, you’ll hear a special beep or tone signaling that someone else is trying to reach you. 2. To take the incoming call, press the tele phone “switch hook” for one second. This also puts the first call on hold. 3. Press the “switch hook” again to switch between calls. Call Forwarding Call Forwarding lets important calls to your number follow you when you can’t be near your phone. To Use Call Forwarding: 1.Dial 72# Customers without touch-tone service should dial 1172 or dial 72 and wait four seconds. 2. Dial the number to where you want calls forwarded*. If the call is not answered, or if it is busy, calls are not forwarded. Repeating steps 1 and 2 automatically will forward your calls. If the call is answered, Call Forwarding is in effect. To Cancel Call Forwarding: 1. Dial 73#. Listen for two short tones fol lowed by the dial tone. Call Forwarding has now been canceled.

Dial the first person you’re calling and put him or her on hold by pressing the “switch hook” one second. 2. Wait for the dial tone and then dial the telephone number of the person you want to add to the conversation. When that person answers, you can talk privately before adding the first person back into the conversation. 3. Press the “switch hook” for one second to add the first person. Now all three people will be on the line at one time. 4. To disconnect either call, ask one person to hang up. You can then continue the conversation with the remaining person. 5 .
