To place these calls. you'll dial the
number yourself. Then the operator will
come on the line to make sure the call
goes through the way you want.
Since you do the dialing, it will no
longer be necessary to give the number
and wait while the operator records it
and dials for you. All you have to do is
tell the operator the type of call you're
placing and how you want it completed.
This chart explains how it's done.
There is no change WI rates for,
any of these calls.
Station -to -station with no operator
assistance ("1" + the number) is still the
fastest and cheapest way to call long
