In fact, they’d rather have you pay for them. So we’re implementing a plan that will help eliminate telephone fraud. Here’s how it works: Starting July 1,1982, when you call from a coin phone and want to bill another number (a tliird party’ billing), the opera tor will call that number for approval. Which means, of course, that if no ones home, or the line is busy, your call can’t be completed using third party7 billing. But that doesn’t mean you can’t complete your call. You still have the option of calling collect, paying for the call with coins or using a Bell System Calling Card. When you use a Calling Card, you’ll save 45c in Washing ton and 75c in Oregon over collect, tliird party or other calls that require operator assistance. Just dial yourself.
