Telephone Tips to Save You Money, Time and Worry Dial It Yourself You can save money by dialing all your calls direct without involving an operator.

Call Station-To-Station (1+) Whenever you are reasonably sure the person you want to reach will be there, or if you’ll talk with anyone who answers, call station-to-station. Calling person-to-person can cost more than twice as much as a station-to-station call. Avoid Involving an Operator (0+) Person-to-person, collect, requests for time and charges, and calls charged to another number all require the services of an operator. As a result, these types of calls cost more. Schedule Your Calls If you call someone frequently, try to arrange a specific time when he or she will be there to take your call. Don’t Pay for Wrong Numbers If you reach a wrong number, let the operator know right away so you won’t be charged for it. To help you to avoid wrong numbers, keep the area code and number you are calling before you as you dial.
