Establishing Service
In order to establish telephone service, you will need to present the following
information:

(apartment number, if applicable), route and box number, plus city
and zip code.
2. The type of basic or optional monthly service desired.
3. Directory listing preferences.
4. Other credit information, including employment and social
security number.
Deposits
The amount of the deposit to establish telephone service is determined by
estimated two-month billing and other credit information.
Service Charges
New customers are assessed a one-time service connection charge, which
includes the cost of processing the order and connecting your service to the
network. The charges for work done at your residence are based on the actual
amount of time needed to install, move or change the wiring in your home. The
initial charge for the first 30 minutes of work includes travel and preparation
time. In addition, there is a charge for each additional 15 minutes of time
needed to complete the work at your home. For more information on charges,
call Dobson Telephone at 1-580-497-3344.
Telephone Harassment
It is a crime under state and federal laws for anyone to make obscene or harassing
telephone calls. These laws have penalties of imprisonment and/or fines.
Unlawful Wiretapping
It is a crime to wiretap or otherwise intercept a telephone call, unless that person
has first obtained the consent of one or both parties actually participating in the
call. Properly authorized law enforcement officers can take part in interceptions
without the consent of either party when proceeding under court orders issued
following the appropriate state or federal law. The penalty for illegal wiretapping
can be imprisonment and/or fines.
