TARIFF FORMAT
A. Page Numbering – Page numbers appear in the upper right corner of the page. Pages are numbered
sequentially, however, new pages are occasionally added to the tariff. When a new page is added
between pages already in effect, a decimal is added. For example, a new page added between pages
14 and 15 would be 14.1.
B. Page Revision Numbers – Revision numbers also appear in the upper right corner of each page.
These numbers are used to determine the most current page version on file with the Commission. For
example, the 4th Revised Page 14 cancels the 3rd Revised Page 14. Because of various suspension
periods, deferrals, etc., the most current page number on file with the Commission is not always the
tariff page in effect. Consult the Check Sheet for the page currently in effect.
C. Paragraph Numbering Sequence – There are nine levels of paragraph coding. Each level of coding
is subservient to its next higher level:
2.
2.1.
2.1.1.
2.1.1.A.
2.1.1.A.1.
2.1.1.A.1.(a).
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i).
2.1.1.A.1.(a).I.(i).(1).
D. Check Sheets – When a tariff filing is made with the Commission, an updated Check Sheet
accompanies the tariff filing. The Check Sheet lists the pages contained in the tariff, with a cross
reference to the current revision number. When new pages are added, the Check Sheet is changed to
reflect the revision. All revisions made in a given filing are designated by an asterisk (*). There will
be no other symbols used on this page if these are the only changes made to it (i.e., the format, etc.
remain the same, just revised revision levels on some pages.) The tariff user should refer to the latest
Check Sheet to find out if a particular page is the most current on file with the Commission.

2.1.4 Limitations on Liability, (Cont’d.)
J. The included tariff language does not constitute a determination by the Commission
that a limitation of liability imposed by the Company should be upheld in a court of
law. Acceptance for filing by the Commission recognizes that it is a court s
responsibility to adjudicate negligence and consequential damage claims. It is also
the court's responsibility to determine the validity of the exculpatory clause.
2.1.5 Notification of Service-Affecting Activities
The Company will provide the Customer reasonable notification of service-affecting
activities that may occur in normal operation of its business. Such activities may include, but
are not limited to, equipment or facilities additions, removals or rearrangements and routine
preventative maintenance. Generally, such activities are not specific to an individual
Customer but affect many Customers’ services. No specific advance notification period is
applicable to all service activities. The Company will work cooperatively with the Customer
to determine the reasonable notification requirements. With some emergency or unplanned
service-affecting conditions, such as an outage resulting from cable damage, notification to
the Customer may not be possible.

service or prior to any special construction, no charges will be imposed except for
those specified below.
B. Where, prior to cancellation by the Customer, the Company incurs any expenses in
installing the service or in preparing to install the service that it otherwise would not

others levy against the Company that would have been chargeable to the Customer
had service commenced (all discounted to present value at six percent).

where special arrangements of facilities or equipment have begun, before the
Company receives a cancellation notice, a charge equal to the costs incurred by the
Company, less net salvage, applies. In such cases, the charge will be based on such
elements as the cost of the equipment, facilities, and material, the cost of installation,
engineering, labor, and supervision, general and administrative expense, other

2.7 Allowances for Interruptions in Service
Interruptions in service that are not due to the negligence of, or noncompliance with the provisions of
this tariff by, the Customer or the operation or malfunction of the facilities, power or equipment
provided by the Customer, will be credited to the Customer as set forth in 2.7.1 for the part of the
service that the interruption affects.
2.7.1 General
A. Service Outage
A credit allowance will be given when service is interrupted, except as specified
below. A service is interrupted when it becomes inoperative to the Customer, e.g.,
the Customer is unable to transmit or receive, because of a cross-talk, static or other
transmission problem, the Company will respond to a Customer’s report of such a
“service outage” in accordance with IDAPA 31.41.01 Rule 503. Customer’s bills
will be appropriately and automatically credited pursuant to the terms of Rule 503.
B. Receipt and Recording of Reports
The Company will provide for the receipt of Customer trouble reports at all hours
and make a full and prompt investigation of and response to all reports. The
Company will maintain an accurate record of trouble reports made by its Customers.
This record will include accurate identification of the Customer or service affected,
the time, date and nature of the report, the action taken to clear the trouble or satisfy
the Customer, and the date and time of trouble clearance or other disposition. This
record will be available to the Commission or its authorized representatives upon
request at any time within two (2) years of the date of the record.
C. Repair Commitments
Commitments to the Customer for repair service will be set in accordance with Rule
503. The Company will make every reasonable attempt to fulfill repair
commitments to its Customers. Customers will be timely notified of unavoidable
changes. Failure to meet a repair commitment does not relieve the Company of the
credited provisions in Rule 503.01, unless the Customer fails to keep an appointment
the Customer agreed to when the original commitment was made

E. Extenuating Circumstances
Following disruption of local exchange service caused by natural disaster or other
causes not within the Company’s control and affecting large groups of Customers,
or in conditions where the personal safety on an employee would be jeopardized, the
Company is not required to provide the credit referred to in Subsection 503.01 as
long as it uses reasonable judgment and diligence to restore service, giving due
regard for the needs of various Customers and the requirements of the
telecommunications service priority (TSP) program ordered in FCC Docket 88-341.
When a Customer causes the Customer’s own service outage or does not make a
reasonable effort to arrange a repair visit within the service restoration deadline, or
when the Company determines that the outage is attributable to the Customer’s own
equipment or inside wire, the Company is not required to provide to that Customer
the credit referred to in Subsection 503.01.
F. Compliance Standard
Each month at least ninety percent (90%) of out-of-service trouble reports will be
cleared in accordance with Subsection 503.01 and 503.02. The Company will keep

Commission whenever the record indicates the ninety percent (90%) level has not
been met for a period of three (3) consecutive months.

4.4 Carrier Presubscription
4.4.1 General
Carrier Presubscription is a procedure whereby a Customer designates to the Company the
carrier that the Customer wishes to be the carrier of choice for IntraLATA and InterLATA
toll calls. Such calls are automatically directed to the designated carrier, without the need to
use carrier access codes or additional dialing to direct the call to the designated carrier.
Presubscription does not prevent a Customer who has presubscribed to an IntraLATA or
InterLATA toll carrier from using carrier access codes or additional dialing to direct calls to
an alternative long distance carrier on a per call basis.
4.4.2 Presubscription Options - Customers may select the same carrier or separate carriers for
IntraLATA and InterLATA long distance. The following options for long distance
Presubscription are available:
Option A: Customer selects the Company as the presubscribed carrier for IntraLATA
and InterLATA toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option B: Customer may select the Company as the presubscribed carrier for
IntraLATA calls subject to presubscription and some other carrier as the
presubscribed carrier for interLATA toll calls subject to presubscription.
Option C: Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for IntraLATA toll
calls subject to presubscription and the Company for InterLATA toll calls
subject to presubscription.
Option D: Customer may select the carrier other than the Company for both
IntraLATA and InterLATA toll calls subject to presubscription
Option E: Customer may select two different carriers, neither being the Company for
IntraLATA and InterLATA toll calls. One carrier to be the Customers’
primary intraLATA interexchange carrier. The other carrier to be the
Customer’s primary InterLATA interexchange carrier.
Option F: Customer may select a carrier other than the Company for no presubscribed
carrier for IntraLATA toll calls subject to presubscription which will require
the Customer to dial a carrier access code to route all IntraLATA toll calls
to the carrier of choice for each call.

in which to inform the Company of his/her choice for primary toll carrier(s) free of charge.
Until the Customer informs the Company of his/her choice of primary toll carrier, the
Customer will not have access to long distance services on a presubscribed basis, but rather
will be required to dial a carrier access code to route all toll calls to the carrier(s) of choice.
Customers who inform the Company of a choice for toll carrier presubscription within the 90
day period will not be assessed a service charge for the initial Customer request.
Customers of record may initiate a intraLATA or interLATA presubscription change at any
time, subject to the charges specified in 4.4.5 below. If a Customer of record inquires of the
Company of the carriers available for toll presubscription, the Company will read a random
listing of all available intraLATA carriers to aid the Customer in selection.

4.5 Public Telephone Surcharge
In order to recover Company expenses to comply with the FCC’s pay telephone compensation plan
effective on October 7, 1997 (FCC 97-371), an undiscountable per call charge is applicable to all
intrastate calls that originate from any pay telephone used to access Company provided services. This
surcharge, which is in addition to standard tariffed usage charges and any applicable service charges
and surcharges associated with service, applies for the use of the instrument used to access Company
provided service and is unrelated to the service accessed from the pay telephone.
Pay telephones include coin-operated and coinless phones owned by local telephone companies,
independent companies and interexchange carriers. The Public Pay Telephone Surcharge applies to
the initial completed call and any reoriginated call (e.g., using the “#” symbol). The Public Pay
Telephone Surcharge does not apply to calls placed from pay telephones at which the Customer pays
for service by inserting coins during the progress of the call.
Whenever possible, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge will appear on the same invoice containing
the usage charges for the surcharged call. In cases where proper pay telephone coding digits are not
transmitted to the Company prior to completion of a call, the Public Pay Telephone Surcharge may be
billed on a subsequent invoice after the Company has obtained information from a carrier that the
originating station is an eligible pay telephone.

5.2 Charges Based on Duration of Use
Where charges for a service are specified based on the duration of use, such as the duration of a
telephone call, the following rules apply:
5.2.1 Calls are measured in durational increments identified for each service. All calls that are
fractions of a measurement increment are rounded-up to the next whole unit.
5.2.2 Timing on completed calls begins when the call is answered by the called party. Answering
is determined by hardware answer supervision in all cases where this signaling is provided
by the terminating local carrier and any intermediate carrier(s). Timing for operator service
person-to-person calls start with completion of the connection to the person called or an
acceptable substitute, or to the PBX station called.
5.2.3 Timing terminates on all calls when the calling party hangs up or the Company network
receives an off-hook signal from the terminating carrier.
5.2.4 Calls originating in one time period and terminating in another will be billed in proportion
to the rates in effect during different segments of the call.
5.2.5 All times refer to local time.

provided satisfactory service can be furnished, a listing will be permitted under the
address of a branch exchange, Centrex or extension of an exchange service line
installed on the premises of the Customer, but at an address different from that of the
attendant position of main service.
Special types of additional listings, such as Alternate, Alpha and Informational,
Duplicate and Reference Listings, Foreign Listings, etc. take the same business
classification as the service with which such listings are furnished.

C. Nonpublished Service
The telephone numbers of nonpublished service are not listed in either the
Company’s alphabetical directory or Directory Assistance records available to the
general public.
Non published information may be released to emergency service providers, to
customers who subscribe to Company offerings which require the information to
provide service and/ or bill their clients, or, to telephone customers who are billed
for calls placed to or from nonpublished numbers and to entities which collect for
the billed services. Nonpublished names and/or telephone numbers may also be
delivered to customers on a call-by-call basis.
Incoming calls to nonpublished service will be completed by the Company only
when the calling party places the call by number. The Company will adhere to this
practice not withstanding any claim the calling party may present, except claims of
emergencies involving life and death. In such cases, the Company will call the non-
published number and request permission to make an immediate connection to the
calling party.
When the Company agrees to keep a number unlisted, it does so without any
obligation. Except for cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Company
is not liable for any damages that might arise from publishing a non-published
number in the directory or disclosing it to some. If, in error, the telephone number is
published in the directory, the Company’s only obligation is to credit or refund any
monthly charges the Customer paid for non-published service.
The Subscriber indemnifies (i.e., promises to reimburse the Company for any
amount the Company must pay as a result of) and save the Company harmless
against any and all claims for damages caused or claimed to have been caused,
directly or indirectly, by the publication of a non-published service or the disclosing
of said number to any person.
