Establishing Or Transferring Phone Service To
establish or to transfer new residential phone service, please call your local
service office.
To establish or to transfer new business phone service, call or
visit your local service office.
To enable us to process your order to establish phone service,
we will need to know your complete address, and how you want to be listed in
the directory. We also need to know about previous telephone service in your
name, and other credit information. We will ask for identification, and a
number where you can be reached either at work or through a friend or relative
until your service is established.
Installation Rates Installation rates will vary with the needs of your service.
There are many steps involved in installing your phone service, but not every
customer needs each step. The amount of work needed to install phone service
for you will depend on the type of facilities and service you
want.
Your Telephone Bill How You Are Billed Charges for
local service and equipment are billed one month in advance. Service charges
are billed after they have been placed. Charges for toll or long distance calls
may appear on the same bill covering a period of one month, ending about
fifteen days prior to the date of the bill.

problem is being investigated.
Late Payment Charge Customer bills for telephone
service are due when they are rendered. A customer is in default unless payment
is made on or before the due date specified on the bill. If payment is not
received by the 23rd day of the month, a late payment charge of one and
one-half percent (1-1/2%) per monthly billing period will be applied to all
amounts in arrears and on the unpaid late payment charges excluding one month's
local service charge.
Paying The Bill On Time, So Your Service Will Not Be
Disconnected If your payments are not received by the due dates, or you
do not meet your mutually agreed upon payment arrangements, your telephone
service may be disconnected.
How To Get Your Service Restored All past charges
must be paid or a payment arrangement must be made before your service can be
reconnected, you will be charged a restoral fee, and you may be asked to pay a
deposit.
