SECTION 3 - DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
3.1 Computation of Charges

3.1.1 The total charge for each completed call may be a variable measured
charge dependent on the duration, distance and time of day of the call.
The total charge for each completed call may also be dependent only on
the duration of the call, i.e. a statewide flat rate per minute charge. The
variable measured charge is specified as a rate per minute which is
applied to each minute. All calls are measured in increments as set forth
in the Rates Section of this tariff. Fractions of a billing increment are
rounded up to a full billing increment on a per call basis. Fractions of a
cent per minute are rounded up to a full cent on a per call basis.

3.1.2 Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline
distance between rate centers associated with the originating and
terminating points of the call. The airline mileage between rate centers is
determined by applying the formula below to the vertical and horizontal
coordinates associated with the rate centers involved. The Company uses
the rate centers that are produced by Bell Communications Research in the
NPA-NXX V&H Coordinates Tape and Bell's NECA Tariff No. 4.

3.5.4 Company Prepaid Calling Cards

This service permits use of Prepaid Calling Cards for placing long
distance calls. Customers may purchase Company Prepaid Calling Cards
at a variety of retail outlets or through other distribution channels.
Company Prepaid Calling Cards are available at a variety of face values.
Company Prepaid Calling Card service is accessed using the Company
toll-free number printed on the card. The caller is prompted by an
automated voice response system to enter his/her Authorization Code,
and then to enter the terminating telephone number. The Company's
processor tracks the call duration on a real time basis to determine the
number of Telecom Units consumed. The total consumed Telecom Units
and applicable taxes for each call are deducted from the remaining
Telecom Unit balance on the Customer's Company Prepaid Calling Card.

All calls must be charged against Prepaid Calling Card that has a
sufficient Telecom Unit balance. A Customer's call will be interrupted
with an announcement when the balance is about to be depleted.

When the balance is depleted, the Customer can either call the toll-free
number on the back of the Company Prepaid Calling Card and "recharge"
the balance on the card using a nationally recognized credit card, or the
Customer can throw the card away and purchase a new one. Calls in
progress will be terminated by the Company if the balance on the
Company Prepaid Calling Card is insufficient to continue the call.

A card will expire on the date indicated on the card, or if no date is
specified, 6 months from the date of purchase, or the date of last recharge,
whichever is later. The Company will not refund unused balances.

A credit allowance for the Company Prepaid Calling Card Service is
applicable to calls that are interrupted due to poor transmission, one-way
transmission, or involuntary disconnection of a call. To receive the proper
credit, the Customer must notify the Company at the designated toll-free
customer service number printed on the Company Prepaid Calling Card
and furnish the called number, the trouble experienced (e.g. cut-off, noisy
circuit, etc.), and the approximate time that the call was placed.

Credit for failure of service shall be allowed only when such failure is
caused by or occurs due to causes within the control of the Company.
