To keep your directory information current, supplements will also be available through your business office at cost. There are some exceptions to this new charge. For example, blind and other handicapped people who can't use the directory should call our business office to find out how to become exempt. People who call from pay phones, hospitals; hotels and motels will not be charged. And long distance directory out-of-to- assistance outside of Utah will not be affected. We've developed this charge because it was the only way we could handle the rising costs of directory assistance fairly. Now the people who use directory assistance the most will pay for it. And the people who use their directories the most wont. For example, in other Mountain Bell areas where we've been charging for directory assistance, only about 1 out of every 20 phone customers has actually been billed for extra calls. So. while it may be necessary for us to charge for directory assistance, it may not be necessary for you to pay for it. Our directory assistance number. Be careful how you spend it. Mountain Bell |
