LOOK IN THE BOOK FIRST
Because this is an “area wide” directory it
contains more information that covers a greater area
than a typical local telephone directory. By using
this directory, you should be able to find most of
the numbers of friends and neighbors as well as
businesses serving your area. Here are a few other
ways to save:
• Look up numbers in your directory and jot down
frequently called numbers.
• Provide the Directory Assistance Operator with
complete information: full names, accurate
spelling and exact addresses.
• If you need two numbers, ask for both of
them at the same time. Directory Assistance
will usually provide a second number at no
additional charge.
• A new number reference is often provided by
someone who has recently moved. Call the old
number and you can frequently get a recorded
message with the new listing.

helps you to place a local or long distance call.
To make an Operator-assisted call, please dial “0”
+ the area code (if necessary) + seven digit number.

want to make. For an additional charge, the Operator
will help you to place the following calls:
•
Collect Call.
The person or business you are
calling agrees to pay for the call.

the right person or extension, you will not

the call to a phone number other than the one
to which or from which you are calling.
