GTE Custom Calling!
For Rusk Customers
"CALL WAITING sure helps out when you're a teenager
like me. Since we got it, our phone is never really busy.
My Dad and Mom sure like that! Like if I'm talking
for a long time, I'll hear a little beep on the line
that means someone's calling our number.
So with this CALL WAITING, I just push
the switch to click over and see who
it is, and the same way to get back
to my friend, then get off the
phone quick if I have to."
— Sister
«* *
"Sometimes I get home from
school before everybody else,
cause Dad and Mom both
work. So they got SPEED CALL-
ING and programmed all the
code numbers right into the
phone's memory. So if there's an
emergency or I just need something, I
push a couple of buttons to reach the fire %%*** phone number, and all of our calls are
department, or the police, or an ambulance, a**** ** transferred to their house. No one knows
neighbor, even my grandma and grandpa. SPEED we're gone and we don't miss any messages
CALLING is pretty nifty, I can even call my Dad and either. CALL FORWARDING means real security and
Mom at wori." — Brother peace of mind." — Mom
"Holidays are always a special time at our house.
But things change as you get older. Mom and Dad
are still at home in Pennsylvania, my sister has
moved to California, and my family and I
are here in Texas. It's hard not being
able to go home for the holidays.
But with THREE-WAY CALLING,
even when you can't be there,
you can still get together.
And what would the holidays
be without a family get-
together?" — Dad
:: "This CALL FORWARDING
is such a convenience,
* especially when we all go off
together on a weekend or fam-
ily vacation, or even just out for
the evening. I just dial a code
