Direct Distance
Dialing Coming
This Summer
O’Neill telephone customers will
have Direct Distance Ihaling
when dial service becomes avail
able here late this summer, ac
cording to C. R. Alexander,
Northwestern Bell manager.
“This will mark the comple
tion of a service improvement
program which will enable cus
tomers to dial their own long
distance station to-station calls
throughout the United States,
Canada, Alaska and Hawaii, in
addition to dialing their local
calls.
The new telephone numbers
which will be used are the type
that work best for local dialing
of calls and will also fit in with
the nationwide system of long
distance dialing by customers.
The numbers will consist of sev
en numerals, for example 336
1690 The first three numerals
for all phones will be 336.
To dial a local call, a eushe
mer will merely dial the seven
numeral number which will be
listed '* new directory to
Is delivered prior to the
changeover.
By diaung the numeral ‘1,’ a
three digit area code where aj>
prupriate and the telephone num
ber of someone y<»j want to reach
in Omaha, New York, San Fran
cisco or any of thousands of ci
ties, you can complete your call
yourself and be talking to the
party you called in just a few
seconds more than it takes to
dial a local call.
There are two basic ways that
direct distance dialed calls may
be placed, depending on where
you are calling. The United
States and Canada and divided
into over 100 dialing ‘areas,’ each
of which has been assigned an
’Area Code.’ Approximately the
eastern half of Nebraska includ
ing O’Neill comprises one of these
areas and it has the area code
number 402.
If customers in O’Neill are
calling someone in their own
’Area,’ it is not necessary for
them to dial the ‘Area Code.’
This is not the case, however,
if they are calling someone in
another area. Then, the ‘Area
Code’ for that area is dialed be
fore dialing the distant seven di
git number. In both instances, it
will be necessary to dial the num
eral (1) to connect the telephone
to the DDD network before dial
ing the rest of the number."
I>I>I> equipment will prepare
a perforated tape to record the
calling number, the called Jiiim
ber and the time talked. This
tape will be processed to trans
fer the Information to the cm*- ,
tomer's long distance state
ment.
"Although a large number of
the call* handled are the station- (
U>-station type that can be dial
ed direct, operates will still be
available to assist you in placing
person-to-person, credit card, col
lect and pay station calls,” ac
cording to Alexander.
“A ‘How to Dial’ booklet and
other information on the use of
the new dial system will be mail
ed to customers prior to the
changeover. A list of some of the
major long distance points that
can be dialed will be included in
a Personal DDD Directory that
will also be included in the mail
ing.”
