1 PART 13 - Public Telephone Services 1st Revised Sheet 1 Replacing Original Sheet 1 PAYPHONE EXCHANGE ACCESS SERVICE A. General 1. Payphone Exchange Access Service is a service which offers pay telephone service to the public via a coin or coinless pay telephone. Payphone Exchange Access Service is furnished to Payphone Service providers opting to provide a means for the general public, transients and/or collective groups to place local and/or toll calls. A Payphone Service Provider is any individual, corporation, partnership or other entity offering telephone service to the public for compensation through pay telephone instruments capable of originating or receiving telephone calls. 2. Payphone Exchange Access Service is a two-way or, optionally, a one-way originating only one party business exchange access line composed of the serving central line equipment, all outside plant facilities needed to connect the serving central office with the customer premises, and the network interface. These facilities are Company-provided and maintained and provide access to and from the telecommunications network for long distance service and local calling call restriction is provided at no additional charge. /1/ 3. Selective Class of Call Screening will be provided where such facilities are available, at the Payphone Service Provider's option. Selective Class of Call Screening treatment enables the Payphone Service Provider to restrict outgoing Operator-handled calls placed over the Company's network, from the service point to only those calls which are charged to a called telephone, or a third number. Any Payphone Service Provider who offers payphone service assumes full and complete responsibility for all calls billed to his line. The Company will not be responsible for screening those calls placed over the network of any Carrier, other than the Company. No variation or alteration of the screening codes, billing restrictions, applicable access or other general provision of this Selective Class of Calling Screening treatment will be permitted. /2/ (C) 4. Answer Supervision-Line Side provides "off-hook" supervisory signals to customer premises equipment. These signals originate from the called party's service central office (terminating office) to a line interface at the calling party's serving central office (originating office). This provides the signaling necessary to allow billing to begin. This feature is not compatible with the Call Waiting, Speed Calling and Three-Way Calling features when provided with Selective Class of Call Screening. Answer Supervision is an optional service. /3/ This feature is available where appropriate Company facilities exist. /1/ call restrictions restrict calls to these pay-per-call information services to only those calls which are alternately billed. /2/ Selective Class of Call Screening is not available in conjunction with SmartCoin access line. /3/ Answer Supervision equivalent functionality is included at no additional charge with SmartCoin service. Tracking No. AR Effective: April 26, 2015
2 PART 13 - Public Telephone Services Original Sheet 2 A. General (cont d) 5. SmartCoin service is offered, at the Payphone Service Provider's option, where the necessary facilities are available. SmartCoin access lines may be provided as either two-way or one-way originating only access lines. With the exception of Dial Tone First and Answer Supervision Line Side, the services included on SmartCoin access lines apply only on local and IntraLATA toll calls that are handled by the Company. As an option, the Payphone Service Provider may request a Customer Billing Report (provided at a separate charge developed on an individual case basis) which will provide additional information regarding sent paid calls originating from the SmartCoin access line. This report will include detail of all Company handled sent paid calls with the exception of local calls which do not require the assistance of an operator. A telephone number change may be required when an existing Payphone Exchange Access Service access line is converted to a SmartCoin access line. When subscribing to SmartCoin, the Payphone Service Provider is responsible, on the site owner's behalf, for arranging for proper handling of coin calls by their chosen carrier or their carrier's agent. The Company will not be liable for shortages of coins collected and deposited at the payphone equipment. Calls placed from Payphone Exchange Access Service access lines equipped with the SmartCoin feature will be rated as follows: a. Sent paid local calls which do not require the assistance of an operator will be rated by the pay telephone set. The Company network will receive a signal from the pay telephone set indicating that the local rate has been satisfied. b. Operator handled sent paid local calls will be rated to the end user at the price established by the Payphone Service Provider. c.
