TYPES OF CALLS

Time and Charges When placing a long distance call, you ask the operator to tell you the length of time you talked and how much it cost. Dial the call. When the operator comes on the line, say that you want the time and charges when the call is completed. The operator will ask you to stay on the line at the end of the conversation.

Toll Free Numbers Long distance calls made to 800 series numbers are free to the caller. Although there is no charge to place the call initially, your long distance company may bill you the pay phone surcharge.

Third Number You may have long distance charges billed to an authorized third telephone number. Dial 0 + number. When the operator comes on the line, say you would like to charge your call to a third number and give the operator that number including the area code. The operator may verify the third number charge before advancing your call. Third number calls are more expensive than dial direct or calling card calls.
