Show DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE WILL COST The telephone number for Mountain Bell's local Directory Assistance (DA.) will change to 1-411 beginning begin-ning Thursday, July 1st, according to Kenneth O.Hill, Public Relations Manager for Mountain Bell. Beginning in July, the tele -phone company will charge 20? for each DA. call beyond a five, free -call allowance per line each month. To help avoid DA. charges, Hill reminded people that small, personal telephone directories m ay be obtained from Mountain Bell business offices throughout the state. He said studies of Utah DA. calling volumes show that only five percent of all customers will receive charges with the five -call allowance. "There are two numbers our customers should remember re-member for Directory Assistance As-sistance in the state. The first is 1-411 for local numbers and 1-555-1212 for numbers in other areas of the state, except forScofield and Minersville, who will call the operator," Hill said. The allowance and charges will apply for calls to both numbers. Coin phones, hotels, motels and hospitals which are exempted from charges may have different numbers for DA. Check the instructions instruc-tions on pay phones and con -suit motelhotel attendants for the numbers to call. Visually and physically handicapped people who cannot can-not read or use the directory may be exempted from the charges by obtaining a signature sig-nature from a physician or official of certain social agencies and presenting it to the telephone company. The forms for exemption may be obtained from Mountain Bell business offices, and agencies such as the Salt Lake Center for the Blind. |
