Residents of Tribal Lands can also qualify for the Federal portion of the Lifeline program based on
terms and conditions for Tribal Lands.

DIRECT-INWARD-DIALING (DID) SERVICE (Cont'd)
DESCRIPTION
Direct-Inward-Dialing (DID) Service is a special trunking arrangement which permits incoming
calls from the exchange network to reach a specific PBX (Private Branch Exchange) station
directly without an attendant's assistance.
CONDITIONS
This feature may be provided, in addition to regular, FCO or FX rates and charges, where CO
facilities are available and the PBX system or customer-provided switching equipment
capabilities permit.
One primary directory listing in the main directory of the serving CO is provided for each PBX
system.
The provision of this feature requires that the customer subscribe to a sufficient number of trunk
facilities to adequately handle the volume of incoming calls.
Sequential numbers may be assigned if blocks of numbers are available and at the discretion of
the Company. Rates and charges associated with sequential numbers are specified in the rate
section above.
A DID sequential number block is a group of twenty (20) telephone numbers in numeric
order. The last digit of the first number within the block is a zero (0), and the last number
within the number block must include an odd number in the sixth digit and a nine (9) in the
last digit.
Customers requesting that numbers in a sequential number block be removed from the
block will be charged a Block Compromise Charge as specified in the rate section above.
DID Service is offered with switching vehicles served by trunk service. Answer Supervision is
required from the customer s switching vehicle.
Direct Inward-Dialing Services are available only to customers who are served from a central
office equipped to provide such services.
From time to time the Company may offer promotional programs where the non-recurring
charges may be waived.

When a service is programmed for both Call Waiting and Call Forwarding only one of the two
may be activated at anyone time.
A service may be programmed with any combination of the six custom calling services except
that services with Line Busy Call Diversion may not be programmed for Call Waiting or
Conference Calling.
DEFINITIONS
Speed Calling - permits placing local and long distance calls to preselected telephone numbers by
dialing an abbreviated code. To add a number to the calling list the customer uses his own
telephone.
Call Waiting - a distinctive tone infOTIIlS the telephone user that another call has been placed to his
line. By briefly depressing the hookswitch, the user will be connected to the second caller while
holding the first, subsequent depressions of the hookswitch will allow the user to alternate between
callers.
Conference Calling - permits a telephone user to add a third party to an existing local or long
distance call. It will also permit a telephone user to consult privately with a third party while
holding the original call.
Call Forwarding - permits transfer of all incoming calls automatically to any dialable number. The
number can be selected by the customer each time Call Forwarding is activated or the call directed
to the previously selected number. If the alternate location is not a free call the customer will be
billed for each call forwarded.
Fixed Calling - after dial tone is obtained, if the caller does not commence dai1ing within a
predetermined length of time, a call will automatically be placed to a number previously selected
by the subscriber.
Line Busy Call Diversion - permits calls to automatically be transferred to a predetermined
alternate number whenever the primary number is busy. The alternate number can be any dialab1e
number and can be modified only at the Central Office. If the alternate location is not a free call
the customer will be billed for each call diverted.
Call Forward Fixed No Answer - permits calls to automatically be transferred to a predetermined

Validation may be performed through Originating-Line Screening (OLS). OLS enables operator
service providers to determine whether there are billing restrictions on the exchange access line from
which a call originates. OLS service delivers codes on operator assisted calls to identify calls
originating from privately owned payphones, inmate locations, and hotels/motels, etc. Rates for this
service are found in the appropriate interstate access tariff, when facilities and services are
available.
CO Implemented Coin Line features, including coin line signaling, coin collect and return (where
applicable) and answer supervision, are provided by the Telephone Company per the technology

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
DEFINITIONS
Answer Supervision and coin collection and return features provide signaling on the line notifying
the line that the called party has answered and an electrical signal on a CO Implemented Line
indicating to the payphone equipment to collect or return coin(s) to the calling party. These features
are additives to the CO Implemented Coin Line.
Special Number Assignment is a specific number requested by the customer. This service is
available where facilities are available and it is technically feasible to provide. This feature is an
additive to the CO Implemented Coin Line or to the Instrument Implemented Payphone Service.
Selective Class of Call Screening will be provided where such facilities are available at the
customer s option. Selective Class of Call Screening treatment enables the customer to restrict
outgoing operator-handled calls, placed over the Telephone Company s network, from the service
point to only those calls which are charged to a called telephone, a third number or a calling card.
Billed Number Screening - allows the customer to identify to the Telephone company that they will not accept
any Third-number and/or Collect calls for billing to their telephone number. The Company places information
regarding this screening restriction into a database that is normally accessed by operator service providers prior
to such calls being completed. When customers have indicated that they do not wish to accept billing for any
Third-number or Collect calls, the database will not validate charging for such a call. The operator service
provider can then decide whether to complete the call based on this information provided by the database. Billed
Number Screening can be ordered to screen third-number billed calls, collect calls, or both.

CONSTRUCTION CHARGES
GENERAL
Line extensions consist of additions to plant beyond existing leads, and do not include
additions to plant along existing telephone utility leads. Line extension charges are applied
to subscriber applicants with abnonnal1y long extension requirements to prevent
unreasonably burdening the general body of existing subscribers. All line extensions will be
owned and maintained by the Company.
Line extension charges set forth in this schedule apply in connection with all types of service
when established by means of an extension to the Company s plant consisting of "buried
wire" or pole construction, including extensions by means of poles to be owned solely by the
Company or jointly with others and by means of contacts or contact space on poles of
others. The Company shall determine the type of construction to be used.
In lieu of the charges otherwise applicable, the applicant, ifhe so elects, may initially clear
the right of way, furnish materials, transportation or labor in accordance with the nonnal
construction standards of the Company. In all instances the ownership of facilities shall be
entirely vested in the Company.
The locations of line extensions are determined by the telephone company and the distances
(including drop wire) are measured along the route so selected.
Construction to serve two or more customers, whether on public right-of-way or private
easements, may be used for serving subscribers in general.
The total extension to plant (along public roads or on private property) to be furnished
without charge shall not exceed 1000 feet per application. Where the total extension
exceeds 1000 feet, the free footage allowance is first computed for the private property
portion of the extension prior to computing any allowance for the construction along public
roads. In addition to the Line Extension Allowance, customers shall receive up to 300 feet
of drop wire construction without charge.
Contracts, covering periods not more than three years of telephone service, may be required
by the Company as a condition precedent to establishment of the service when line
extensions are necessary. Such contracts will not require advance or unusual payments in
excess of those otherwise required by this schedule, and shall not interfere with the
Company s right to collect amounts as provided elsewhere in its tariff schedule.

Line extension charges assessed to applicants will be based on Rural Electrification (REA)
Rules and Regulations when applicable. In case of disagreement or dispute regarding the
application of any provisions of this rule, or in circumstances where the application of this
rule appears impracticable or unjust to either party, the utility, applicant, or applicants may
refer the matter to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission for ruling.
The estimated cost of the line extensions are payable in advance. In the event of
overcharge, refunds to applicants will reflect the difference between the estimated cost and
the actual cost of the line extension. In the event of undercharge, the Company shall bill the
applicant for an amount not to exceed 10% of the estimated extension costs. Any
adjustments between the estimated costs advanced by the applicant and the reasonable
actual cost shall be made within sixty days after completion of the extension.
When an applicant is so located that it is necessary to use private and/or public right-of-
way to furnish service, and the Company is unable to obtain the required right-of-way
without cost, the applicant may be required to pay the costs incurred in securing the right-
of-way in addition to other charges.

For line extensions of unusually long length or high cost, the Company may

applicant may request either line extension or radio telephone service and the
applicant will pay the actual cost for the chosen option in excess of the free
allowance which would be provided under the line extension option.
GROUP OF APPLICANTS
When construction is required to serve a new applicant, a survey is made of all prospective
subscribers who might be served from the new construction or an extension thereof and who
might benefit by being included in the project. Free footage allowances are made only for
those prospective subscribers making a written application for service.
All applicants are grouped in a single project when there is no more than one-half mile of
construction between successive applicants. Separate projects are established whenever the
construction between any two successive applicants exceeds one-half mile. Two or more
projects are combined, however, whenever this results in lower charges (or no increase in
charges) for all of the applicants involved.

GROUP OF APPLICANTS (Cont'd)
An applicant at any premises receives only a single line extension and drop wire allowance
regardless of the number of services ordered at that premises.
Applicants ordering service at more than one premises are treated as separate applicants
each premises for purposes of this schedule.
For the purpose of determining project charges, the collective free footage allowance for
the group is subtracted from the overall Line Extension footage required for service. The
total project cost is then divided equally among all applicants.
Exceptions:
(1) No applicant is required to pay a higher charge than he would if the project were
established for him alone. Any difference between this charge and the average
charge for the group is absorbed by the Company.
(2)Charges for extensions to plant on private property (including drop wire) are
assumed by applicants on whose property such extensions are made and these
charges are not included in the overall charges for the project. Likewise, the free
footage allowance on private property is not included in the collective allowance for
the project.
CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS
When a new applicant can be served from a completed project, within three years from the
date service was initially established for such project, the charges for the entire project are
recomputed to include the new applicant. The new applicant pays a prorated amount of
the line extension charge based on the number of months (a fraction of a month is counted
as a full month) remaining in the original three-year term. The time is computed from the
date service is established for the new applicant.
Where additional construction is required for an applicant to be served from a project less
than three years old, the cost of the project is computed as above if such recomputation
does not increase the charges to those customers served from the existing project.
Otherwise, a new project will be established.

CHARGES TO SUBSEQUENT APPLICANTS (Cont'd)
When a project is recomputed as described above, existing subscribers will be refunded a
prorated amount of the difference between the original charges and the recomputed charges
based on the remainder of the three-year tenn. Recomputation of the charges due to the
addition of new applicants is made on the assumption that there have been no disconnects.
Where construction on private property is subsequently treated as being on public roads, or
where a private road is dedicated to the public use, within three years of completion of the
original project, the time extension charges shall be recomputed and refunds made to the
initial applicants where applicable.
DISCONNECTS AND REUSE OF FACILITIES
When one or more subscribers on a project disconnect within the three year tenn, no refund
is made of the line extension charge to the disconnected subscribers. Charges to remaining
subscribers are not affected by disconnects.
When a subscriber disconnects service or moves off the project and service is established for
a new applicant at the same location, any adjustment in charges is a matter for negotiation
between the original subscriber and the new applicant.
Where a subscriber is disconnected for any reason and subsequently re-applies for service
from the same premises or another premises on the same project, the subscriber will not be
required to pay any additional line extension charges in addition to his total original
obligation.
REAL ESTATE SUBDMSIONS
Line extensions into real estate subdivisions will be made by the Company provided 60% of
the estimated total cost of such extension is advanced to the Company by the subdivider.
The amount so advanced will be refunded to the subdivider when 50% of the estimated total
telephone services are connected within the subdivision during a period of five years from
date of agreement. The subdivider shall notify the Company in writing when the 50%
hook-up has been attained. Final evaluation will be made by the Company.

maintain facilities only along public streets, roads, and highways which the Company
has the legal right to occupy, and on public lands and private property across which

BASIC EMERGENCY 911 SERVICE
DESCRIPTION
911 Emergency Communications System Service (911 Service) is a telephone exchange
service whereby a Public Safety Answering point (PSAP) designated by the customer may
receive calls signaled to the telephone number 911. The service provides the capability to
answer emergency calls originated by persons within the serving area who dial 911.
911 Service provides for routing 911 calls originated by telephone with given central
office prefix codes to a single PSAP vial the switched network to dedicated or non-
dedicated access lines. The choice of the service arrangement is the customer , subject to
availability of facilities.
The 911 Code feature permits the public to dial 911 and have the central office route the
call to the PSAP.
The dedicated access line option provides a circuit from the originating end office to the
PSAP. The following optional features are available where operating conditions permit:
Forced Disconnect
Enables a PSAP attendant to terminate, at any time, an existing 911 call regardless of the
action of the calling party. Forced disconnect prevents the dedicated facilities (lines or
trunks) to the P ASP from being tied up by calling parties who remain off-hook. After the
P SAP attendant releases from a 911 call, the dedicated 911 trunk or line facility to the
PSAP is automatically released and made available for other 911 calls. Forced disconnect
may be used to disconnect any established 911 call connection to a PSAP.
Idle Tone
A reorder tone at 120 IPM is a tone that is given to alert the Public Safety Answering
Point (PSAP) attendance that the originating party has gone off-hook after the 911 call
was established to the Company but before the PSAP attendant answered the phone. This
feature allows the PSAP attendant to distinguish between calls that are abandoned before
they are answered and calls where the calling party is unable to speak for some reason.
Switchook Status
This is a feature which automatically provides a visual indication of the switchook status
of the originating station after the PSAP attendant answers the call. It provides the visual
indications, in connection with the customer s terminal equipment, to allow the PSAP
attendant to know whether a 911 call put on hold is still on hold or has disconnected.
Additionally, a control circuit is required in connection with the customer provided visual
lamp indicator.

attendant releases the call or until trunk time-out. Activation of ringback will restart the
timing.
Emergency Ringback
Allows the PSAP attendant to ring back a calling station whether the station is on or off
hook.
Features other than those described in 4. preceding, may be provided on an individual

telephone number and its own line are assigned to each Carrier s subscriber s mobile unit or
pager device.
c. Direct Outdial Arrangement - an interconnection arrangement for mobile to land calls which
may be used in conjunction with analog Type 1 channels for land to mobile calls.
d. Type 1 - Type 1 is an interconnection arrangement. The Type 1 interconnects between the
Carrier s switch or Point of Connection (POC) and the Company s switch which is the Dial
