Telephone Company Procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this,

it may occasionally be necessary for it to make

changes in its equipment, operation, or procedures.

If these changes affect your service or the operation of the equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any

changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If you have any questions about

line, such as how many pieces of equipment you

can connect to it, the telephone company will

provide this information upon request. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for

the telephone company to request information from you concerning the equipment which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC

registration number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the equipment which is connected to your line; both of these items are listed on the equipment label and in the Service

Information chapter of this guide. The sum of all of

the

RENs

on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five

may not be usable on a given line.
