VERIZON SELECT SERVICES INC. Federal Rate Schedule 2 Original Page 563 SECTION 9 - MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES (M) 9.1 Operator Services - Payphone 9.1.1 General Operator Services - Payphone allows calls to be placed from payphones pre- subscribed to Carrier for the handling of long distance traffic. These calls are placed with the assistance of an automated or live operator. Calls are billed in increments of one minute. Partial minutes are rounded to the next higher increment for billing purposes. A one-time Operator Surcharge, if applicable, will be added to the first minute of each operator assisted call in addition to per minute rates as specified in 9.1.4. The following types of calls are available for operator assistance: • Collect Calls - Operator assistance for collect calls will ask the caller to provide his/her name or other identification, then contact the party at the domestic telephone number specified by the caller, repeat the caller's identification and then ask if the called party will accept charges for the call. If the called party agrees to accept the charges, the call will be established and the associated charges for a collect call will be billed to the called party's residential telephone number billing account. Collect calls can be either person-to-person or station-to-station. • Billed-to-Third Number - Operator assistance will establish the call requested by the caller and arrange for billing of associated charges to a residential domestic telephone number specified by the caller that is other than the calling telephone number or the called telephone number. Requests for third number billing are subject to operator verification that the party at the telephone number to be billed will accept charges for the call. Other efforts may be undertaken subsequently by Carrier, as necessary, to determine responsibility for payment of such calls. • Person-to-Person - At the caller's request, operator assistance will attempt to place a call to a particular party at a domestic telephone number specified by the caller. The party specified by the caller may be a person, station, department, extension, or office. If successful, the Operator will establish the person-to-person call between the calling and called parties. If the identified party is not available and the caller requests, or agrees, to speak to a party other than the party initially specified, the call will be established and billed at the person-to-person call rates.
