A credit will apply to each Directory Assistance call if the Customer notifies a Company Service representative that he or she: (1) experienced poor transmission or was cut-off during the call; (2) was given an incorrect telephone number; or (3) inadvertently misdialed and reached Directory Assistance using the wrong area code.

 

Presubscribed Customers who have been certified in writing as being unable to access or use a manual directory because of a visual or other physical impairment will be eligible to receive a Directory Assistance credit against the per-call charge (and any applicable operator-assistance surcharges) by dialing Area Code + 555-1212. A licensed physician, optometrist, appropriate federal or state agency, or appropriate approved private agency must make certification on a form available upon request from the Company.  When completed, the written certification must be returned to a designated company service center or, at the Company’s election, delivered to the Customer's Local Exchange Carrier.

 

Credits may be used by: 1) the visually or otherwise physically impaired customer; 2) an organization established specifically for the purpose of assisting the visually or otherwise physically impaired; or 3) a business where all owner(s) and/or employees of the business on the premises at which a call originates have been certified as visually or otherwise physically impaired.  Credits will apply only to Directory Assistance calls made by dialing Area Code + 555-1212 from the telephone number of the certified visually or otherwise physically impaired person or organization. Only one telephone number per location is entitled to this credit. A maximum of fifty Directory Assistance calls per monthly billing period will be eligible for crediting, and no single credit for a Directory Assistance call may exceed $5.00.

 

A Customer may request that the Directory Assistance operator complete an intrastate telephone call to a number obtained in a Directory Assistance call.  For any call completed, the Customer will be charged the additional undiscountable state-specific Operator Dialed Surcharge, plus the applicable per-minute rate for the Company service to which the Customer is presubscribed.  This feature is not available to those accessing Directory Assistance by dialing 1010, plus a Company CIC, or for calls to toll-free, 500, 700, 900 and 976 numbers.
