’ Simply put, if you dial the call yourself, you
are going to get a lower rate. If you place your
calf through an operator, it will cost more.
Now our new rates offer you a choice.
By dialing your own calls and by taking
advantage of our discount rate period, you can
still get low rates and fast service.

Nights and Weekends there will be a 40 per
cent discount.
So; if you call later in the day or night, or
on weekends, you’re going to get the lowest
rates possible.
But if yotTpkice calls through an operator,
rates for these Zero-Plus calls will be higher, at
any time — night or day. These include calls
from a coin phone, collect, credit card and calls
billed to a third number.
The initial rate period of three minutes will
continue for these and other operator-assisted
calls. >
And, person-to-person calls will cost more
than any other type call.
Rates for Long Distance calls within Texas
havejust changed.
For you —the telephone customer—it
means most rates are going up. /
But you may be surprised to learn that rate
changes won’t necessarily bring higher
telephone bills.
Because with our new discount for dialing
your own calls, you can better control your
Long Distance costs.
In some cases, you may be able to save
money on your Long Distance bill by taking ,
advantage of these rates.
For example, there’s a new one-minute
rate on all calls that you dial yourself—without
the operator’s help.
Under the old rate, the initial rate period
was for three minutes. Now on One-Plus dialed
calls the initial rate period is one minute.
That means you can save by reducing the
length of your call.,
