How am I billed?
Charges for your local service and equipment are billed a month in advance. Long distance calls are billed in arrears. Charges for installing or changing equipment or services are billed on your monthly statement following completion of work.

What is the "delinquent after" date?
Your monthly statement has a printed date by which we should recive payment each month.

How can I get service restored if it has been disconnected for non-payment?
All past due charges billed must be paid before your service can be reconnected. You will also have to reestablish
your credit and as a result, we may require a reconnect charge as well as a security desposit. Before service can be restored, the customer is obligated to own their own telphone instrument(s).

What should I do about questions or mistakes on my bill?
Call your Service Representative who can answer qustions, investigate possible errors, and provide information about bills. All questions must be brought to the attention of the telephone company within 15 days to be elegible to recieve credit. Your Service Representative's phone number is on your bill - 996-2981.

Why do I get two phone bills?
Since deregulation, long distance companies have been allowed to bill customers direct for calls made using their service. The local telephone company may be hired to provide this service if the long distance service chooses to do
so.
