Direct Distance Dialing For your long distance needs

With Direct Distance Dialing, you can dial most station-to-station long distance calls. To make Direct Distance Dialing possible, the United States has been divided into numerous geographic areas. Each area has its own three-digit area code. You can obtain the area code of the place you are calling by calling the operator for the area code or looking up www.555-1212.com on the Internet. You can dial direct to any telephone with an area code plus the seven digit number. How To Dial From All Telephones Except Pay Phones First, get the correct local number and the area code of the person you want to call. For Station-To-Station Calls, Dial 1 + area code + telephone number For International Calls Many International calls can be dialed direct by dialing 011 + County Code + City Code + Local Number. How To Dial For Information On Numbers* If you do not have the number of the person in your local area, dial 1 + 411. Or, dial 1 + area code + 555-1212 for long distance information of the town you want to call. For Other Calls, Dial 0 + area code + telephone number (0 + dialing is used with operator assistance for person to person, calling card or collect calls.) Busy Signals And No Answers

If you get a busy signal or if no one answers the telephone you are calling, hang up and try the call a little later. No charge is made on calls not completed. If You Need Help If you are cut off during a call, encounter difficulty in hearing or experience any other trouble, just dial the operator and report it. Charges are based upon rates in effect at the time of connection at the calling point. This also includes calls begin- ning in one rate period and ending in another. * There is a charge for this assistance.

900 Call Restriction 900 Call Restriction blocks calls from being directly dialed from your line to any 900 information ser- vice program number. Call Dobson Telephone at 405-964-8600 for information on how to obtain 900 Call Restriction. 3rd Party And Collect Block 3rd Party and Collect Block restricts anyone from making these type of calls and charging it to your phone. Station-To-Station

Station-to-station calls are not directed to a particular person. The caller talks with whoever answers the phone. Rates for calls that you dial are lower than calls dialed by the operator. Charges begin when the called telephone is answered. Conference Calls You can talk with several people in different places at the same time. Tell the operator you wish to make a conference call. A special charge will apply. Person-To-Person Call person-to-person when you want to talk to a particular person or extension number. Tell the operator you want to make a person-to-person call. Rates are higher than station-to-station calls and also apply when you talk to an alternative person or extension. Charges start when the conversation begins. Long Distance Calls Customer-Dialed, Station-to-Station is the least expensive type of call. If the customer dials the call directly without operator assistance, the customer is charged at the lowest rate in effect at the time the call is placed. Operator-Assisted, Station-to-Station requires operator assistance for completion. The customer talks with whomever answers the telephone, but needs an operator’s assistance to reach the number. Examples of these calls include coin, collect, calling card and code billing (special billing numbers, guest, time and charges are sequence calls). Collect You can call collect if the person or business you are calling agrees to pay for the charge. If you want to make a collect call, please tell the operator when you place the call.

This signal is provided by Dobson Telephone for your protection. If you don’t want your conversation recorded, ask the person with whom you are talking to disconnect the recording machine. When the recorder is disconnected, the beeping will stop. The “beep” is produced auto- matically by the device used to connect the recorder to the telephone line. It stops when the recorder is disconnected. Use of a recorder without this signal is unlawful.

National Do Not Call Registry

The National Do Not Call Registry is a registry designed to eliminate annoying telemarketing and unsolicited sales calls to your home. This service is free of charge and you can add your name and telephone number to the registry by calling the Toll Free number: 1-888-382-1222 or simply visiting the website at www.donotcall.gov to register online. This will register your telephone number with a national database.

Do Not Call Notification For Telephone Solicitors If telephone solicitations or telemarketing calls are made in the course of your business, it is important that you be aware of, and comply with, the rules and regulations governing such activities. As you may know, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jointly established the National Do Not Call Registry (Registry), a database containing the residential telephone numbers and wireless numbers of consumers who want to avoid telephone solicitations. The national Registry rules apply to all telemarketers and sellers engaged in telephone solicitations and cover all commercial interstate and intrastate marketing calls.

It is illegal for telemarketers and sellers to call a number listed on the Registry, unless they fall under one of the exceptions established in FCC/FTC rules, such as exceptions for non-profit charitable organizations or for prior business relationships. (The rules should be carefully reviewed before relying on one of the exceptions.) Telemarketers and sellers are required to access the national Registry at least once every 31 days and drop from their call lists the telephone numbers of consumers who have registered. They are also required to have a written policy, available upon demand, for maintaining a do-not-call list and train personnel engaged in any aspect of telemarketing about the existence and use of the do-not-call list. For more information about the Do Not Call Registry regulations, you may visit the National Do Not Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov . The FCC and FTC rules governing telephone solicitation and telemarketing are set forth respectively in 47 C.F.R. §64.1200 and 16 C.F.R. Part 310.
