14 GENERAL EXCHANGE TARIFF QUINCY TELEPHONE SECTION A13 COMPANY First Revised Sheet No. 33 ISSUED : May 2, 1996 EFFECTIVE: June 2, 1996 MISCELLANEOUS SERVICE ARWiNGEMENTS L. ADVANCED CALLING SERVICES 1. General Advanced Calling Services (ACS) is a group of telephone company central office call management features offered in addition to basic telephone company services. ACS consists of the following: a. Call Return This feature enables a customer to place a call to the telephone number associated with the most recent call received whether or not the call was answered or the number is known. The customer can dial a code to request that the network place the call. If the called line is not busy, the call is placed. If the called line is busy a confirmation announcement is heard, the customer hangs up and a queuing process begins. For the next 30 minutes both the calling and the called lines are checked periodically for availability to complete the call. If during this queuing process the called line becomes idle, the customer is notified, via a distinctive ring, that the network is ready to place the call. When the customer picks up the telephone the call will automatically be placed. This feature is not available on operator handled calls. In connection with Call Return, if the most recent incoming call is blocked, the subscriber will get a Company recorded announcement indicating the number is a private number and the call can not be returned. (c) (c) If the incoming call is from a caller served by a PBX, only the main number of the PBX is transmitted and available for Call Return. If the incoming call originated from a multi-line hunt group, the telephone number transmitted and Call Returned will always be the main number of the hunt group, unless, facilities permitting, the telephone numbers are identified within the group.

ADVANCED CALLING SERVICES - Continued 1. General - Continued c. Priority Ringing - Continued This feature will not work if the incoming call is from a telephone number in a multili.ne hunt group unless the telephone number is the main telephone number in the hunt group, or is telephone number identified. d. Preferred Call Forwarding Preferred Call Forwarding allows the customer to transfer selected calls to another telephone number. A screening list of up to six numbers is created by the customer and placed in the network memory via an interactive dialing sequence. Subsequently, calls are forwarded to the Call Forwarding telephone number only if the calling number can be obtained and is found to match a number on the screening list. If the customer also subscribes to Call Rejection and the same telephone number is entered on both screening lists, the Call Rejection feature must be deactivated to allow the call to forward. This feature will not work if the calling line is not referenced to and originated by the main telephone number, or a Telephone Number identified number that represents all the lines in a collection of lines such as multiline hunt groups. e. Call Rejection This feature provides the customer the ability to prevent incoming calls from up to six different telephone numbers. A screening list is created by the customer either by adding the last number associated with the line (incoming or outgoing), or by pre-selecting the telephone numbers to be blocked. When a call is placed to the customers number from a number on the screening list, the caller receives an announcement indicating that the party to which the call is being attempted does not wish to receive the call at this time.

Special Call Acceptance -- Special Call Acceptance allows customers to automatically screen incoming calls by creating a list of six (6) phone numbers from which the (T) customer is willing to accept calls. A call from a phone number not on the customers list is sent to (T) an announcement that informs the caller that the customer is not receiving calls at this time. (T) 9 Call Trace Call Trace enables the customer to initiate an automatic trace of the last call received. Upon activation by the customer, the network automatically sends a message to the Company equipment indicating the calling number, the time the trace was activated, and in some locations, the time the offending call was received. The customer using this feature would be required to contact the Telephone Company for further action. The customer is not provided the traced number. Only calls from locations with compatible signaling (T) services are traceable using Call Trace. BY: G. R. Barnes, President
