Effective Sunday, Nov. 5th, Bell Telephone introduces THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, Movember 3, 1961 9S new low-cost Distance calling Long between points in Ontario and Quebec, including the NEW IGH After 9 p.m. every day, you can talk 5 to 10 minutes for the price of 5... 12 minutes for the price of 6...and so on, giving you double value on calls of 10 minutes or more! THE NEW "NIGHT-ECONOMY" PLAN Throw away your stop-watch when you visit with family or friends by Long Distance! Here's how v~" can tal-- advantage of Bell Tele- phone's completely new, money-saving "'Night- Economy" Plan. On any Bell Company station-to-station call within Ontario and Quebec, placed after 9 p.m. any evening, you will be charged at low night rates for the first five minutes. Then--keep talking! There is no additional charge for the next five minutes. (You get ten minutes of Long Distance for the price of five.) From then on, every two minutes you talk will only be charged as one minute. Short-haul "Night-Economy" calls On Long Distance calls where the basic rate is 10 cents, you can now talk up to ten minutes for 10 cents and each additional six minutes for 5 cents. "Night-Economy" Plan for business, too If you find it convenient to place business calls after 9 p.m., transmit data from one city to 'another, or use recording equipment for out-of- town salesmen's reports, you too can take ad- vantage of this new "Night-Economy" Plan. If you would like to have complete details, please request the visit of a communications represent- ative from your nearest Bell Telephone Business Office. No obligation, of course. "NIGHT-ECONOMY" PLAN PART OF WIDE REDUCTIONS IN MOST LONG DISTANCE RATES While the new "Night-Economy" Plan is the lowest-cost Long Distance pian ever offered to our customers, there are also considerable re- ductions in most day and night station-to-station calls over 48 miles--the direct result of the economies that arise from the expanding use of automatic dialing equipment (Direct Distance Dialing). Station-to-station calls Day and night rates are reduced by 5 to 75 cents for the first three minutes between most points over 48 miles: overtime rates are reduced cor- respondingly. (To maintain consistency in the mileage schedule there is an increase in the night. rate of 5 cents for the first three minutes between a few points over 48 miles.) Rates remain unchanged for distances of 48 miles and under. If you call station-to-station instead of person-to-person, you can now save up to 50% (even more after 6 p.m. and all day Sunday). Person-to-person Calls and "secretarial services" While increased automation enables us to pass along to our customers the economies of sfation- to-station calls, person-to-person calls are more Sample rates | from OSHAWA DAY RATE (4:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday) 3 minutes to: Toronto Quebec Sudbury Montreal Windsor, Ont. London HOw AP Sad, Qaas? costly to handle: rates for such calls will more closely reflect their actual costs PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS (which constitute a small proportion of all Long Distance calls made) have become somewhat more expensive over distances up to 276 miles, with noticeable reductions for greater distances. The discount rates for person-to-person calls at night and on Sunday have been eliminated. 'SECRETARIAL SERVICES": the small surcharges for calls charged to a. third number or for "collect"? calls have been increased from 10 cents to 20 cents to bring the surcharges more in line with actual costs. We hope that the many reductions--and _partic- ularly the new "Night-Economy" Plan -- will help you to make better and more economical use of your telephone. STATION-TO-STATION CALLS. . . au rates referred to in this announcement apply to calls between points in Ontario and Quebec; they do not apply to calls to other provinces or to the United States.
