iHOW 10 USE THE TELEPHONE
—
fl) New telephone directories
I have been distributed, it you
failed to get one piease call 9UOU
iand one will be sent to you.
1 (2) Please discard old direc
j tones.
(3) Call by number and not
, by name. If you find it neces
, sary to call by name please use
surnames and not given names or
nicknames. New operators find
it difficult to remember all the
surnames in town without trying
to remember given names.
(4) Don’t let children play
with the telephone.
(5) Don’t ask about a fire —
the operators are busy giving
information to the members of
the fire department and city of
ficials.
(6) If your telephone is out
of order please report it in a
courteous manner.
(7) If you are making a se
ries of calls it is not necessary to
give this informrtion to the
operator—just press the receiver
hook down for a second after
each call.
(8) If you would like to keep
a corrected directory please call
9000 the Ist day in each month
and we will give you the name
and number of the new station.
Also a list of the ones that have
been discontinued.
Long Distance Information
(1) If you are placing a long
distance call please ask for Long
Distance.
(2) When the operator an
swers, “Long Distance,” give
her your number and name and
then the place and party or sta
tion you wish to be connected
with.
(3) If you know the distant
number please do not give the
name of the firm or address un
less for some reason the number
has been changed. However, if
you do not know the number
give all the information neces
sary to complete the call.
(4) If you place a call and
[the operator gives you a report
! that she does not have a circuit
That means that long distance
lines to the place you are calling
are busy and she will call you as
soon as a circuit is released.
(5) If you place a long dis
tance call and want the charges
reversed please give this infor
mation to the operator when you
file the call.
(6) If you have an incoming
collect call and wish to know the
charge please ask the long dis
tance operator to quote charge at
end of conversation. The local
operator does not take a copy of
in-coming calls and it takes a lot
of time to get the charge after
the circuit is released.
(7) If you are called by a
long distance operator and were
not available at the time, when
you report ready to talk give the
local operator your name and
number and then the town and
operator number that was call
ing you. For example— This
is Mr. Brown at 100. Atlanta
operator 44 is calling me.”
(8) If you are talking from
one telephone and want the call
charged to another please tell
the operator when vou file the
call.
(9) If you work at Robins !
Field please get the extension
number in your department.
Then if you find it necessary to
call, the operator can establish
your connection much easier.
There are no Wellston calls any
more —if you are calling some
one inside the Field your call will
be to Robins Field. If it is out
side the Field it will be Warner
Robins.
(10) If you have roomers or
boarders in your home and don’t
want them to use your telephone
for long distance please tell j
them; don’t leave it to the opera-1
tor to have to tell them.
