Box: 189, Schreiber, Ontario POT 2SO | Telephone by Paul Newell your Bell Manager Tal You may be aware that Bell Canada is ini- tiating directory assistance Shaping in the Terrace Bay exchange area, starting January 12,1975. I thought it might be helpful to review the plan and to stress that no one need ever incur an unnecessary charge. Most people use Directory Assistance only as a last resort, when the phone number they need is not yet listed in their directory. These nec- essary requests will continue to be free. It's the unnecessary calls we want to discourage to ensure reliable Directory Assistance ser- vice for those who really need it. That's why, beginning January 12,1975, there will be a 25 cent charge for each phone number provided by a directory assistance operator when the requested number is listed in your phone book. Every billing month, the first three such requests made from your residence phone will be free. After that, the charge will apply. Necessary calls, for numbers not yet listed in your directory will still be free. And whether the number 'is listed or not, there will be no charge for anyone who has a handicap that makes it difficult to use a directory or for persons 65 years or over. If you qua ify for an exemption, just call your Bell Canada business office and ask for a special exemption form. Also free are emergency calls. and calls from pay phones. hotel. motel and hospital rooms. In closing, I'd just like to repeat that you can avoid upnscossry charges by look- ing in the book before calling Directory As- sistance. The number you need is probably listed. (In 1973, our directory assistance operators handled more than 220 million calls--more than 70 per cent of them were for numbers already listed in the phone book.) : It's also a good idea to keep emergency and frequently called numbers up-to-date in the Space provided in the introductory pages of your directory.
