This action is a result of
balloting which took place in the
Rio Grande City telephone service
area under the rules of Senate Bill
632 and the Public Utility
Commission Rule 23.49 (c). Under
those guidelines, certain
communities were allowed to
petition for expanded toll-free local
calling to nearby communities. As
a result of balloting in other
communities, Rio Grande City
customers also have local calling to
Roma.
Once expanded local calling is
operational, it will no longer be
necessary for customers to dial "1"
before the number when placing
calls between these communities.
They will simply dial the 7-digit
number.
The implementation of Expand 1
Toil-Free Local Calling may require
modification to some
telecommunications services and/or
equipment, such as fax machines,
speed calling, PABXs, key
systems, automatic dialers and other
services/equipment that may t iu
or automatically dial long distance
numbers.
Faughn said residential custi iu rs
with questions about the ELC
service should call toll free 1-800-
483-4400 and business customers
should call 1-800-483-5400.
