Your questions answered by Marline Veater, Local manager of | | @) sen Canada Almost every day we get phone calls and letters asking why we do certain things . . . or why we don't do certain things. In this column, I'd like to answer some of the most common questions we're asked. On Monday, when I inspected my new apartment, there was a telephone on the kitchen wall. When I moved in the Jollowing Friday, it was gone, and you had to send out a man to install one for me. Isn't this terribly inefficient ? At first glance it would certainly appear so. Actually when customers advise us they are moving from a house or apartment, we try to determine if the premises will be occupied shortly. If it looks'as though the quarters will ~ be empty for more than a month, we will remove the telephone. This gives us an opportunity to have it thoroughly checked and refurbished and- placed back in stock for use by another customer. There is a tremendous amount of movement in- our business. For every ten telephones we connect, we .have to disconnect nine, meaning a net gain of one telephone. With this high a turnover, keeping idle phones to a minimum has an important effect on our inventory. Besides, you'd be surprised how often telephones are stolen from vacant homes and apartments. Why do you ask some people for a deposit before agreeing to provide them with telephone service ? : Applying for telephone service is very much like ap- plying for a credit card. That's why we request credit information when you ask for a telephone. Once that phone is installed it gives the customer immediate access to the long distance network on a "pay-later" basis. We would like to believe that every customer would pay his bills on time. Unfortunately, this just isn't so. To protect ourselves, and the cost of service we provide to those who do pay, we sometimes seek to prevent possible losses by asking for a deposit in those cases where the credit information is not satisfactory. Luckily, we don't haye to resort to this measure too often, we only hold deposits on less than one-half of one percent of our customers. I purchased a small place in the country in order to "get away from the rat race" and enjoy some peace and .quiet. However, you now tell me that you want construc- tion charges to be paid before you'll install a phone. Why can't I get one like anyone else ? Yes, there are limits of didtance within which tele- phone service is provided at the regular "flat rate" service charge. We will install service in locations that are within 528 feet of our existing wire and pole network at the regular cost. Persons wishing to locate beyond this point are asked to pay an additional construction charge. We simply feel that the extraordinary expense involved in serving customers that choose to live remote from built-up areas should not be shared by all subscribers, but only those that incur them. When considering a move from an urban area it's a good idea to check with the business office if construction charges will be re- quired; we can give you an estimate in advance. | = 3
