BEWARE
OF CHANGES IN CALLING DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE
Effective
August 1, 2007, there will be an increased rate for dialing (area
code) 555-1212 long distance directory assistance service. Those
rates will increase by 50 cents from $1.99 to $2.49 per call. In
addition, the per-minute rate for calls placed using that service
will increase by 14 cents from $1.15 to $1.29 per-minute.
Local 411
directory assistance charges 95 cents per call, after the monthly
allowance of two calls. National 411 charges $1.25 per call and if
you dial the operator to reach directory assistance, an additional
charge of $1.75 applies.
Consider using
free directory assistance services available by phone and online.
Companies like 1-800-FREE-411 are available, and
you must listen to a short advertisement before receiving the
number, but it may be worth it when your monthly bill arrives.
