Any item used with the company’s facilities and equipment in violation of Dobson’s tariffs may lead to suspension of your telephone service or disconnection from the network of the equipment, apparatus, devices or systems. Contact the Dobson Telephone business office for other information regarding these regulations. Application Of Business Rates The use of telephone service for business purposes will subject that service to business rates regardless of the type of premise on which the telephone number is installed.

Any subscriber practicing a profession or operating a business and having no office other than their home will be considered a business subscriber. Procedure For Petitioning The Commission To Examine The Reasonableness Of Proposed Local Exchange Rate Change Under Oklahoma law enacted during 1986 (17 O.S. § 137), this telephone company can raise your local exchange rate up to $2 per month every year without the review and approval of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. At least 60 days before the effective date of such a proposed rate change, each subscriber will be notified by the telephone company. Such an increase can be suspended if 15 percent of subscribers petition the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to examine and determine the reasonableness of the proposed local exchange rates. Every Petition Must Contain 1. The name, address and telephone number of the subscriber. 2. The signature of the telephone subscriber in the name that the telephone service is listed. 3.
