So we're implementing a plan that will help elirninate 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 third 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 party 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 Gird. When you use a Calling Gird, you'll save 450 in Washing ton and 75 in Oregon over collect, third party or other calls that require operator assistance. Just dial yourself.
