2.7 Interruptions in Service
An interruption is deemed to have occurred when the phone lines of the underlying carrier are

The Company's underlying provider shall have the right to make necessary repairs or

credit allowance is applied on a pro rata basis against the monthly recurring
charges specified there under for local line or local trunk service and is dependent
upon the length of interruption. Only those facilities on the interrupted portion of
circuit will receive a credit.

2.9 Payment Arrangements
The Customer is responsible for payment of all charges for services furnished by the Company to
the Customer or its Authorized Users. Objections must be received by the Company within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of bill, or all the charges shall be deemed correct and binding
upon the Customer. If an entity other than the Company imposes charges of the Company, in
addition to its own internal costs, in connection with a service for which a Company non-recurring
charge is specified, those charges may be passed on to the customer.
2.9.1 Taxes and Surcharges
The Customer is responsible for the payment of any sales, use, excise, access or other local,
state and federal taxes, charges or surcharges (however designated) excluding taxes on the
Company’s net income imposed on or based upon the provision of local exchange service,
all of which shall be separately designated on the Company’s invoices. Any taxes or
surcharges imposed by a local jurisdiction (e.g. county and municipal taxes) will only be
recovered from those Customers located in the affected jurisdictions. It shall be the
responsibility of the Customer to pay any such taxes that subsequently become applicable
retroactively.
2.9.2 Bills and Collection of Charges
A. Bills will be rendered monthly to Customer. Fixed monthly recurring charges are
billed in advance. Usage charges and minimum charges for service are billed in
arrears. Customer shall be liable for all accrued local charges, directory charges,
long distance charges and other charges arising prior to the service commencement
date, as defined herein, and shall pay the Company for any such charges which
may be assessed against the Company in any manner.
B. All service, installation, monthly recurring charges and non-recurring charges are
due and payable upon receipt.

for the fraction of the month in which service was furnished will be calculated on

A late payment charge of 1.5%, or lower if required by law, per month shall apply
to amounts shown on a monthly bill which remain after the due date. The late
payment charge does not apply to any taxes the Company is required by law to
levy on a customer. In the event the Company incurs fees or expenses, including
attorney’s fees, in collecting or attempting to collect any charges owed the
Company, the Customer will be liable to the Company for payment of all such fees
and expenses reasonably incurred.
E. A $25.00 charge will be assessed for checks with insufficient funds or non-existing
accounts.

3.1.10 Direct Inward Dial (DID) Service1
DID Service is an optional feature which can be purchased in conjunction with Company-
provided PBX trunks. DID Service transmits the dialed digits for all incoming calls
allowing the Customer’s PBX to route incoming calls directly to individual stations
corresponding to each individual DID number. Charges for DID central Office termination
and DID number blocks apply in addition to charges specified for PBX Trunks. One
additional termination charge applies for each DID-equipped PBX Trunk. Telephone
numbers are furnished in blocks of 20. Blocks of number groups will be determined at the
sole discretion of the Company’s resources. Whenever possible, the Company will attempt
to provide telephone numbers arranged consecutively in a group, but will not guarantee nor
accept responsibility for provision of such an arrangement within or between a block of
numbers. In addition, the Company reserves the right to review vacant DID stations or
stations not in use to determine efficient telephone number utilization. Should the
Company determine, based on its own discretion, that there is inefficient number
utilization, the Company may reassign the DID numbers.
1 Where all numbers in a group have not been connected for service, the Customer is responsible for
providing interception of calls to vacant or non-working assigned station lines or telephone numbers
by means of attendant intercept or recorded announcement service. The Company will not terminate
these numbers to an intercept message on the Customer’s behalf.

3.1.11 Moves, Adds and Changes
A. Non-recurring Installation Charges as described in Sections 3.1.13 & 3.1.14 of this
tariff will be applied per line when a Customer moves to a new address within the
same local exchange.
B. Non-recurring charges as described in Sections 3.1.13 & 3.1.14 of this tariff will
be applied per line when a Customer requests any changes or additions to an

3.1.12 Measurement of Service
A. When charges for calls are mileage sensitive, airline mileage is computed as
described below. Calls are measured and rounded to the higher full minute from
the serving wire center of the Customer's originating location to the serving wire
center of the destination of the call, regardless of Company routing. The distance
between the serving wire center origination point and that of the destination point
is calculated by using the “V” and “H” coordinates as defined by Bell
Communications Research (BellCore) and NECA Tariff FCC No. 4 in the
following manner:
Step 1 Obtain the “V” and “H” coordinates for the originating and terminating
wire centers.
Step 2 Obtain the difference between the “V” coordinates of each of the serving
wire centers. Obtain the difference between the “H” coordinates.
Step 3 Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 Add the squares of the “V” difference and “H” difference obtained in Step
3.
Step 5 Divide the sum of the squares obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to the
next higher whole number, if any fraction results.
Step 6 Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round to
the next higher whole number, if any fraction is obtained. This is the airline
mileage of the call.

All calls which are fractions of a measurement increment are rounded-up
to the next whole unit.
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).
3. Timing terminates on all calls when the calling party hangs up or the
Company's network receives an off-hook signal from the terminating
carrier.

Any existing Trinsic Customer who refers a potential customer to the Trinsic
services listed below will receive a one-time credit should the referred customer

referral upon ordering the new Trinsic service. The credit is applied only once to
the Customer’s next scheduled bill and expires with that bill. The credit does not

Network Exchange Bundled Service may include the calling features
listed below:
These features are offered subject to availability of suitable facilities.
Certain features may not be available with all classes of services.
In the event Trinsic adds custom calling features to its Network Exchange
Bundled Services, such features will be available upon the tariff effective
date (where technically feasible) to all new Customers. Existing
Customers will be informed of the new features availability but must
contact the Company to obtain the new features. Any Service Order
Charges, which would normally apply, will be waived.
Call Forwarding - Fixed, Busy Line No Answer - This feature, when
activated, redirects attempted terminating calls to another Customer-
specified line. Call originating ability is not affected by Call Forwarding -
Fixed, Busy Line No Answer. The calling party is billed for the call to the
called number. If the forwarded leg of the call is chargeable, the Customer
with the Call Forwarding - Fixed, Busy Line No Answer is billed for the
forwarded leg of the call. Calls cannot be transferred to an International
Direct Distance Dialing number.
Caller ID with Name - allows a Customer to see a caller's name and
number previewed on a display screen before the call is answered allowing
a Customer to prioritize and or screen incoming calls. Caller ID records
the name, number, date and time of each incoming call - including calls
that aren't answered by the Customer. Caller ID service requires the use of
specialized CPE not provided by the company. It is the responsibility of
the Customer to provide the necessary CPE. In areas where Caller ID with
Name is not available, Caller ID, which only displays the incoming
telephone number, will be substituted.

1. General, (Cont’d.)
Network Exchange Bundled Service may include the calling features
listed below, (cont'd.):
Call Forwarding - Variable - a Customer activated feature that
automatically transfers all incoming calls from the Customer's telephone
number to another dialable telephone number until the Customer
deactivates the feature. If forwarded to a long distance number the
Subscriber will incur the long distance charges.
Call Trace - Allows a called party to initiate an automatic trace of the last
call received. Call Trace is available on a usage basis only. After receiving
the call which is to be traced, the Customer dials a code and the traced
telephone number is automatically sent to the Company for action. The
Customer originating the trace will not receive the traced telephone
number. The results of the trace will be furnished only to legally
constituted law enforcement agencies or authorities upon proper request
by them.
Call Blocking - Call Blocking allows Customer to block calls from
different telephone numbers. A screening list is created by Customer either
by adding the last number associated with the line (incoming or outgoing)
or by pre-selecting the telephone number to be blocked. Callers from such
numbers hear an announcement that the calling party is not accepting calls
and Customer’s phone will not ring. The screening list may be edited and
revised at Customer’s discretion.

Network Exchange Bundled Service may include the calling features
listed below, (cont'd.):
Distinctive Ring - Distinctive Ring is a feature that allows a Customer to
have up to two separate phone numbers assigned to one local exchange
line. Each telephone number will provide a distinctive ring on an
incoming call to allow for identification of the number being called. A
distinctive call waiting tone is also provided for each telephone number,
where facilities permit and Customers subscribe to Call Waiting.
Distinctive Ring is offered subject to availability of suitable facilities.
VIP Alert - Allows a customer to program telephone numbers of selected
callers, enabling the customer to distinguish certain incoming calls from
all others by a distinctive ring tone.
Privacy Service - A feature which intercepts calls that are marked
“private” and “out of area,” or “unavailable” on Caller ID units. When
unidentified callers dial the Subscribers number, they will receive an
announcement informing them that the party they are calling does not
accept calls from unidentified callers. They will receive a prompt to
identify their name or state their intention and the service will then attempt
to connect the call. Only if the caller responds will the call be connected.
The Subscriber's Caller ID will display the platform number and the name
of the service. If the Subscriber chooses not to take the call the caller will
hear a message which states the Subscriber is unavailable.
Privacy Service is offered subject to availability of suitable facilities. This
service will be provisioned on a line-by-line basis and Customers with
more than one line would need to have the service activated on each line
if they want the ability to intercept unknown and blocked calls to each line.

Call Waiting with Caller ID with Name - Call Waiting with Caller ID with
Name provides a tone signal to indicate to a Customer already engaged in
a telephone call that a second caller is attempting to dial in and allows a
Customer to see a caller's name and number previewed on a display screen
allowing a Customer to prioritize and or screen incoming calls. This
feature permits the Customer to place the first call on hold, answer the
second call and then alternate between both callers. Cancel Call Waiting
(CCW) allows a Call Waiting (CW) Customer to disable CW for the
duration of an outgoing telephone call. CCW is activated (i.e., CW is
disabled) by dialing a special code prior to placing a call, and is
automatically deactivated when the Customer disconnects from the call.
In areas where Caller ID with Name is not available, Caller ID, which only
displays the caller’s telephone number, will be substituted.
Speed Calling - This feature allows a user to dial selected numbers by
means of an abbreviated code. This feature is available in either an 8
number or a 30 number capacity. The Speed Calling list can only
accommodate a number consisting of 15 digits or less.
Three Way Calling - Permits the Customer to add a third party to an
established connection. When the third party answers, a two-way
conversation can be held before adding the original party for a three-way
conference. The Customer initiating the conference controls the call and
may disconnect the third party to reestablish the original connection or
establish a connection to a different third party. The feature may be used
on both outgoing and incoming.

Caller ID - Allows a Customer to see a caller's telephone number
previewed on a display screen before the call is answered allowing
a Customer to prioritize and or screen incoming calls. Caller ID
records the number, date and time of each incoming call -
including calls that aren't answered by the Customer. Caller ID
service requires the use of specialized CPE not provided by the
company. It is the responsibility of the Customer to provide the
necessary CPE.
Call Waiting - Call Waiting provides a tone signal to indicate to a
Customer already engaged in a telephone call that a second caller
is attempting to dial in. This feature permits the Customer to place
the first call on hold, answer the second call and then alternate
between both callers. Cancel Call Waiting (CCW) allows a Call
Waiting (CW) Customer to disable CW for the duration of an
outgoing telephone call. CCW is activated (i.e., CW is disabled)
by dialing a special code prior to placing a call, and is
automatically deactivated when the Customer disconnects from
the call. Customers must actively choose this feature on a line-by-
line basis. Call Waiting is not available on lines enabled for Rotary
Hunting.

6. Calling Features, (Cont'd.)
Caller ID - Allows a Customer to see a caller's telephone number
previewed on a display screen before the call is answered allowing a
Customer to prioritize and or screen incoming calls. Caller ID records the
number, date and time of each incoming call - including calls that aren't
answered by the Customer. Caller ID service requires the use of
specialized CPE not provided by the company. It is the responsibility of
the Customer to provide the necessary CPE.
Call Waiting - Call Waiting provides a tone signal to indicate to a
Customer already engaged in a telephone call that a second caller is
attempting to dial in. This feature permits the Customer to place the first
call on hold, answer the second call and then alternate between both
callers. Cancel Call Waiting (CCW) allows a Call Waiting (CW) Customer
to disable CW for the duration of an outgoing telephone call. CCW is
activated (i.e., CW is disabled) by dialing a special code prior to placing a
call, and is automatically deactivated when the Customer disconnects from
the call. Customers must actively choose this feature on a line-by-line
basis. Call Waiting is not available on lines enabled for Rotary Hunting.
Three Way Calling - Permits the Customer to add a third party to an
established connection. When the third party answers, a two-way
conversation can be held before adding the original party for a three-way
conference. The Customer initiating the conference controls the call and
may disconnect the third party to reestablish the original connection or
establish a connection to a different third party. The feature may be used
on both outgoing and incoming.
Hunting - Routes a call to an idle station line in a prearranged group when
the called station line is busy. This feature is available at no charge but
must be requested by the Customer.

SECTION 4 – LONG DISTANCE SERVICES
4.1 Lingo Description of Services and Rates
4.1.1 Timing of Calls
The Customer's long distance usage charge is based on the actual usage of the Company
network. Usage begins when the called party picks up the receiver. When the called party
picks up is determined by hardware answer supervision in which the local telephone
company sends a signal to the switch or the software utilizing audio tone detection. When
software answer supervision is employed, up to 60 seconds of ringing is allowed before it
is billed as usage of the network. A call is terminated when either the called or calling party
hangs up. There will be no charges for incomplete calls.
The minimum call duration and initial billing period is 60 seconds for all intrastate direct
dialed calls unless otherwise specified by this tariff. Any additional period is measured and
rounded to the next higher 60 second increment unless otherwise specified by this tariff.

4.1.2 Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance 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 and associated vertical and horizontal coordinates that are
produced by Bell Communications Research in their NPA-NXX V & H Coordinates Tape
and Bell's NECA Tariff No. 4
Formula:
EXAMPLE: Distance between Miami and New York City -
VH
Miami 8,351 529
New York 4,997 1,406
Difference
3,354 -879
Square and add: 11,249,316 + 772,641 = 12,021,196
Divide by 10 and round: 12,021,597 / 10 = 1,202,195.70
= 1,202,196
Take square root and round: 1,202,196 = 1,096.4
= 1,097 miles

4.3.1 Description of Services
A. Timing of Calls
1. Usage
The customer's long distance usage charge is based on the actual usage.
Usage begins when the called party picks up the receiver. When the called
party picks up is determined by hardware answer supervision in which the
local telephone company sends a signal to the switch or the software
utilizes audio tone detection. A call is terminated and the charges end
when either party hangs up.
2. Time Periods
The customer's long distance usage charge is based on the day and time the
originating party makes the call.
B. Distance Sensitivity
The Company's charges are based on the airline distance between Rate Centers
located within the State of Idaho.
C. Calculation of Distance
Usage charges for all mileage sensitive products are based on the airline distance
between rate centers associated with originating and terminating points of 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.

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

Caller Identification Blocking - Allows the name and number of the calling party to be
blocked from being transmitted when placing outbound calls.
Per Call Blocking - To activate per-call blocking, a Customer dials a special code prior to
placing a call. Blocking will be activated for that outgoing call only. There is no charge for
using per call blocking, and it is provided on an unlimited basis.
Per Line Blocking - When blocking is established on the line, it can be deactivated by
dialing a code before each call. This one call unblock allows the name and/or number to be
sent for that one call only. Customers who choose per line blocking for the first time will
not be charged the nonrecurring charge. After the first time, customers requesting per line
blocking will pay a nonrecurring charge for each line equipped with per line blocking. Per
line blocking will be provided free to law enforcement and domestic violence agencies and
individual victims of domestic violence upon request.
Call Blocking - Call Blocking allows Customer to block calls from different telephone
numbers. A screening list is created by Customer either by adding the last number
associated with the line (incoming or outgoing) or by pre-selecting the telephone number
to be blocked. Callers from such numbers hear an announcement that the calling party is
not accepting calls and Customer’s phone will not ring. The screening list may be edited
and revised at Customer’s discretion. This feature may not be available with all Trinsic
services.

7.10 Carrier Presubscription
7.10.1 General
Carrier Presubscription is a procedure whereby a Customer designates to the Company the
carrier which 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.
7.10.2 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 Customer’s 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 or 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.

Customers of record will retain their primary interexchange carrier(s) until they request
that their dialing arrangements be changed.
Customers of record or new Customers may select either Options A, B, C, D, E or F for
intraLATA Presubscription.
Customers may change their selected Option and/or presubscribed toll carrier at any time
subject to charges specified in 7.10.5 below:
7.10.4 Presubscription Procedures
A new Customer will be asked to select intraLATA and interLATA toll carriers at the time
the Customer places an order to establish local exchange service with the Company. The
Company will process the Customer’s order for service. All new Customers’ initial
requests for intraLATA toll service presubscription shall be provided free of charge.
If a new Customer is unable to make selection at the time the new Customer places an order
to establish local exchange service, the Company will read a random listing of all available
intraLATA and interLATA carriers to aid the Customer in selection. If selection is still not
possible, the Company will inform the Customer that he/she will be given 90 calendar days
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 7.10.5 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.

9.2 Calculation of Distance
9.2.1 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.
9.2.2 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.
A. FORMULA:
9.3 Minimum Call Completion
Customers can expect a call completion rate of 98% during peak use periods for all Feature Group
D Equal Access 1+ and 0+ Services. The call completion rate is calculated as the number of calls
completed (including calls completed to a busy line or to a line which remains unanswered by the
called party) divided by the number of calls completed.
9.4 Rate Period Overlap
9.4.1 For messages which overlap one or more rate periods the rate in effect for each rate period
for each portion of the call is applicable.
9.4.2 Subject to the billing increments set forth in this tariff, plus any additional charges which
may apply, long distance usage charges are based on the actual usage of Excel’s service.
Usage begins when the called party picks up the receiver. When the called party picks up
timing is determined by hardware answer supervision. Chargeable time ends when either
party “hangs up” thereby releasing the connection. Excel does not bill for uncompleted
calls.
9.5 Service Area
The service area of Excel includes all Equal Access points in Idaho.

9.6.9 Excel Operator Services
The Company’s Operator Services is available throughout the State of Idaho. Callers
access the Company’s Operator Services by dialing 0+ a 10 digit telephone number, 00 or
a Company-provided access code or other Company-authorized access method plus the
telephone number of the called station. Upon receipt of the call, the Company may verify
the credit-worthiness of the designated billed party. When a payment method cannot be
validated, or is unacceptable, callers may be required to select an alternative and acceptable
means of payment. Total charges for use of this service include usage charges and an
Operator Assistance Service Charge, as set forth below. An Operator Dialed Service
Charge also applies to calls in which the caller has the capacity to dial the number, but has
the operator dial instead. Usage charges are based upon the duration of a call, and are flat
per minute based, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, during all Time-of-Day Rate Periods.
The Time-of-Day Rate Periods are defined as follows:
Day Rates are applicable to calls placed Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to, but not
including, 5:00 PM.
Evening Rates are applicable to calls placed Sunday through Friday from 5:00 PM to, but
not including, 11:00 PM; and on Carrier Recognized Holidays, unless a lower rate would
normally apply.
Night/Weekend Rates are applicable to calls placed Sunday through Friday from 11:00 PM
to, but not including, 8:00 AM the following day, and all day Saturday.
Chargeable time begins when the Company receives signaling to detect that the network
connection between the calling station and the called station has been established.
Chargeable time ends when either party "hangs up" thereby releasing the network
connection. For collect calls, chargeable time begins when the called station accepts
responsibility for payment of the charges associated with the call. All calls are measured
and billed in one minute increments; fractional minutes of use are rounded up to the next
full minute.

A. Operator Assistance Service Charges and Surcharge Descriptions:
A Service Charge is applicable to Customer Dialed (Automated) Calling Card
Station, Operator Assisted Calling Card Station, Operator Station-to-Station
(including Sent Paid, Sent Collect, Third Number Billed or Calling Card), Person-
to-Person (including Sent Paid, Sent Collect, Third Number Billed or Calling Card)
and for Busy Line Verifications and Busy Line Interruptions. These charge(s) are
in addition to the initial period and additional period per minute usage charges
applicable to each call. When a call is subject to more than one Service Charge,
only the highest Service Charge applies, unless indicated otherwise herein.
Operator Assistance Service Charges vary depending upon the billing option
selected by the caller. The following call placement options are available:
1. Operator Station-to-Station - refers to when an end user requests operator
assistance in reaching a telephone number and is willing to talk to anyone
who answers. The call may be billed as Sent Paid (calling party pays for
the call), Sent Collect (called party pays for the call), or may be billed to a
Third Party Number or Calling Card. Sent Collect and Third Number
Billed calls may not be allowed in locations where the Company does not
have billing arrangement availability. To activate Station-to-Station
Operator Services, the caller’s dialing sequence could be: 0+ a 10 digit
telephone number, or 00 (only), or any other Company-provided access
method, to get an operator directly to request that a Station-to-Station call
be placed.
2. Person-to-Person - refers to when an end user requests operator assistance
in reaching a specific person, department, extension, office, etc. The
operator dials the number and stays on the line until the requested party is
reached and conversation begins. The call may be billed as Sent Paid
(calling party pays for the call), Sent Collect (called party pays for the
call), or may billed to a Third Number or Calling Card. Sent Collect and
Third Number Billed calls may not be allowed in locations where the
Company does not have billing arrangement availability. To activate
Person-to-Person Operator Services, the caller’s dialing sequence could
be: 0+ a 10 digit telephone number, or 00 (only), or any other Company-
provided access method, to get an operator directly to request that a
Person-to-Person call be placed.

A. Operator Assistance Service Charges and Surcharge Descriptions: (Continued)
3. Busy Line Verification - refers to those instances where the Company will
provide operator assistance to determine if there is conversation ongoing
on a called station. A Service Charge is applied to all attempts to verify
the condition of a customer line, busy talking, busy not talking (e.g., off
hook), except attempts which are unsuccessful due to network equipment
failure.
4. Busy Line Interruption - refers to those instances where the Company
operator will interrupt an ongoing conversation on a called station. A
charge will apply each time the Company operator attempts the emergency
interruption whether or not the interruption is successful. A Busy Line
Verification must be made and its service charge applied before an
Emergency Interruption can be attempted. Once an operator has verified
the line, and the called party has agreed to accept the interruption, the
Customer is provided the option of completing an operator assisted call to
the called station without hanging up or originating a separate call.
Customers may accept or refuse the operator's offer to complete the call.
Calls completed with the operator’s assistance will be charged an
additional Service Charge under Station-to-Station or Person-to-Person,
as applicable. If the operator dials or completes the call to the verified
telephone number for the Customer, the Operator Dialed Surcharge will
also apply.
5. Operator Dialed Surcharge - will apply to Station-to-Station and Person-
to-Person calls when the Customer has the ability to dial all the digits
necessary for call completion but dials instead “0”, “00” or another
Company-provided access code or other Company-authorized access
method to reach a Company operator to have the operator place the call.
This surcharge will be incurred by the Customer in addition to the
applicable Service Charge. However, the surcharge will not apply to: (1)
calls which cannot be completed by the Customer due to equipment failure
or trouble on the Company’s network; (2) calls placed by parties identified
as handicapped and who cannot complete the calls due to the handicap;
and (3) calls made on a 0- basis in which a company operator places a call
for a calling party after a Busy Line Verification and Busy Line
Interruption process has been successfully completed.

Customers of any and all services described in Section IV will be assessed a Minimum
Usage Fee, per account, in each billing cycle in which their qualifying Excel charges do
not meet the minimum usage amount for their bill type. The Minimum Usage Fee is the
difference between the minimum usage amount (i.e., $7.50 or $10.00 based on bill type)
and the Customer’s qualifying charges in a billing cycle. Customers billed directly by
Excel will be assessed a Minimum Usage Fee if their qualifying charges total less than
$10.00 in a billing cycle. Customers billed through their local telephone company will be
assessed a Minimum Usage Fee if their qualifying charges total less than $7.50 in a billing
cycle. The Minimum Usage Fee will not apply to Customers of Excel’s local exchange
services or to customer accounts with no call usage in a given billing cycle when the
account is assigned to a rate plan without a monthly fee or to one with only a monthly
access fee, a fee which is billed only if the customer has used the service during the billing
cycle.
Qualifying charges to be applied toward calculating the monthly usage minimum will be
derived only from the following Excel charges: all long distance, calling card, toll free,
operator assisted and directory assistance usage charges, Carrier Cost Recovery Fee as well
as any monthly access fees or monthly recurring charges associated with the customer's
rate plan.

10.1 General
10.1.1 Introduction
The Carrier endeavors to provide high quality service. Service is available twenty-four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days a week, subject to routine maintenance and outages beyond
the control of the Carrier. Carrier's switching equipment is designed and engineered to
provide high quality transmission of voice and data with a minimum level of impairment
such as noise and echo. However, overall quality may vary somewhat due to the variability
in quality of the connections provided by the local telephone companies and other
interexchange carriers.
10.1.2 Timing of Calls
A. Long distance usage charges are based on the actual conversation time transpiring
on VT's network. No charge will generally apply to uncompleted calls, which
include "ring busy" and "ring no answer calls," and such uncompleted calls will
not be knowingly charged to the Customer and, if charged in error, will be
refundable to the Customer. In the event that the Customer fails to hang up when
receiving a busy signal or "ring no answer call" for an excessive period of time,
however, the Customer may be charged as if the call were completed. VT will
determine that a call has been established by signal, where available, from the local
telephone company or underlying carrier.

coordinates found in Telcordia, in the following manner:
Step 1 Obtain the "V" and "H" coordinates for the Rate Centers of the
origination point and the destination point.
Step 2 Obtain the difference between the "V" coordinates of each of the Rate
Centers. Obtain the difference between the "H" coordinates.
Step 3 Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 Add the squares of the "V" difference and "H" difference obtained in
Step 3.

10.2 Prepaid Calling Card Service
VT's Prepaid Calling Card Service provides an outbound voice grade communications service for
calls charged to a VT Prepaid Calling Card. VT's Prepaid Calling Card Service permits customers
to make Prepaid Calling Card calls from any non-rotary dialed telephone within the State of Idaho
to any other location by dialing the VT-provided 800 number printed on the card, receiving
interactive voice prompts, inserting an authorization code, and then dialing the destination number
of the intended party. VT Prepaid Calling Cards can be obtained from VT or agents of VT in various
denominations. Upon accessing the service, the Customer first receives account balance
information prior to dialing the terminating number. Upon entering the intended destination
number, the Customer will then be advised as to the maximum call length, in minutes. The balance
on each VT Prepaid Calling Card will be reduced and depleted based upon customer usage and the
terminating location of the call. A Customer's call will be interrupted with an announcement at one
minute before the available balance is depleted. Calls in progress will be terminated by the
Company when the available balance of the VT Prepaid Calling Card is expended. Any remaining
balance maybe utilized by the Customer on subsequent long distance telephone calls. All calls must
be charged against a valid VT Prepaid Calling Card account that has a sufficient available balance.
VT's Prepaid Calling Cards are non-refundable. Authorization codes associated with Prepaid
Calling Card Service will expire one-hundred eighty days following activation. The Carrier shall
not be responsible for lost, stolen or unauthorized usage of VT's Prepaid Calling Card or
authorization codes. At the Customer's option, written and automated dialing instructions are
provided in both English and Spanish.

SECTION 11.0 - CLEAR CHOICE COMMUNICATIONS® SERVICES
11.1 General
11.1.1 Introduction
The Carrier endeavors to provide high quality service. Service is available twenty four (24)
hours per day, seven (7) days a week, subject to routine maintenance and outages beyond
the control of the Carrier. Carrier's switching equipment is designed and engineered to
provide high quality transmission of voice and data with a minimum level of impairment
such as noise and echo. However, overall quality may vary somewhat due to the variability
in quality of the connections provided by the local telephone companies and other
interexchange carriers.
11.1.2 Timing of Calls
A. Long distance usage charges are based on the actual conversation time transpiring
on CCC's network. No charge will generally apply to uncompleted calls, which
include "ring busy" and "ring no answer calls," and such uncompleted calls will
not be knowingly charged to the Customer and, if charged in error, will be
refundable to the Customer. In the event that the Customer fails to hang up when
receiving a busy signal or "ring no answer call" for an excessive period of time,
however, the Customer may be charged as if the call were completed. CCC will
determine that a call has been established by, signal, where available, from the
local telephone company or underlying carrier.
B. Unless otherwise specified in this tariff, the minimum call duration for billing
purposes is one (1) minute for a connected call.

11.1.4 Calculation of Distance (Cont'd.)
C. The distance between the Rate Center of the Subscriber's equipment and that of
the destination point is calculated by using the vertical "Y" and horizontal "H"
coordinates found in Telcordia, in the following manner:
Step 1 Obtain the "Y" and "H" coordinates for the Rate Centers of the
origination point and the destination point.
Step 2 Obtain the difference between the "Y" coordinates of each of the Rate
Centers. Obtain the difference between the "H" coordinates.
Step 3 Square the differences obtained in Step 2.
Step 4 Add the squares of the "Y" difference and "H" difference obtained in
Step 3.
Step 5 Divide the sum of the square obtained in Step 4 by ten (10). Round to
the next higher whole number if any fraction results from the division.
Step 6 Obtain the square root of the whole number obtained in Step 5. Round
to the next higher whole number if any fraction is obtained. This is the
distance between the Rate Centers.

J. Minimum Usage Fee
Customers of any and all services described in Section 5 will be assessed a
Minimum Usage Fee, per account, in each billing cycle in which their qualifying
Clear Choice Communications charges do not meet the minimum usage amount
for their bill type. The Minimum Usage Fee is the difference between the minimum
usage amount (i.e., $7.50 or $10.00 based on bill type) and the Customer's
qualifying charges in a billing cycle. Customers billed directly by CCC will be
assessed a Minimum Usage Fee if their qualifying charges total less than $10.00
in a billing cycle. Customers billed through their local telephone company will be
assessed a Minimum Usage Fee if their qualifying charges total less than $7.50 in
a billing cycle. The Minimum Usage Fee will not apply to customer accounts with
no call usage in a given billing cycle when the account is assigned to a rate plan
without a monthly fee or to one with only a monthly access fee, a fee which is
billed only if the customer has used the service during the billing cycle.
Qualifying charges to be applied toward calculating the monthly usage minimum
will be derived only from the following CCC charges: all long distance, calling
card, toll free, operator assisted and directory assistance usage charges, Carrier
Cost Recovery Fee as well as any monthly access fees or monthly recurring
charges associated with the customer's rate plan.

shall not be used to extend calls on a planned and continuing basis to intentionally avoid
the payment in whole or in part, of message toll charges that would regularly be applicable
between the access line originating the call and the access line to which the call is
transferred. Customers utilizing Call Forwarding service are responsible for the payment
of charges for each toll call between the customer s access line and the distant access line
to which the call was transferred. Call Forwarding - (Busy Line) - automatically reroutes
an incoming call to a customer predesignated number when the called number is busy.

predesignated number when the called number does not answer within the number of rings
programmed by the Company.

Call Forwarding - (Selective) - Selective Call Forwarding provides the Customer with the
ability to forward incoming calls from pre-selected telephone numbers to another telephone
number. The Customer can construct or modify a telephone number screening list.
Incoming calls will be screened against the Customer s list and only those telephone calls
from telephone numbers on the list will be forwarded. The Selective Call Forwarding
Customer is responsible for the payment of charges (i.e. , toll charges) for each call between
the Selective Call Forwarding equipped telephone line and the line to which the call is
being forwarded. Calls from numbers not on the list will receive standard call completion.
The Customer must also subscribe to the Call Forwarding feature. Subscribers to Selective
Call Forwarding activate the service and construct or modify the screening list by dialing
*63 and following the prompts. This service may be temporarily deactivated by dialing
*83.
Call Return - (*69) - This feature allows the Customer to automatically return the most
recent incoming call, even if it is not answered. If the telephone number is busy, Call Return
will attempt to call the number for a maximum of thirty (30) minutes after the feature is
activated. Once the call is established, the Customer will hear a special ring when the call
can be completed. This is accomplished by the Customer activating a code. NOTE: Some
telephones are only capable of providing a standard ring. Customers must contact the
manufacturer or distributor of their telephone set if they have any questions. The
operability of this call back feature is dependent upon whether the caller s originating
telephone number can be recognized, or not.
Call Return (usage sensitive) is available on a pay per use basis and the functionality is the
same as Call Return. Call Return (usage sensitive) will be provisioned with local service
unless customer requests the feature to be blocked or it is included in a package.

13.7.1 SPECIAL CHARGES
A Applications
Special charges may be applied in addition to the usual service connection charges
and monthly rates. Special charges apply primarily when unusual investment or
expense will be incurred by the Company. Special charges will apply when:
conditions require or the Customer request the provision of special equipment or
unusual or nonstandard methods of plant construction installation or maintenance
or a move of equipment or necessary facilities; the Customer s location requires
the use of costly private right-of-way; and the proposed service is of a temporary
nature, and the plant to be placed would not be useful to the Company in the
general conduct of its business after that service was discontinued.

B Customer Requirements
Temporary Construction - The Customer shall be charged the estimated cost of
construction and removal of the plant which would not be of value to the Company,
less the estimated net recovery value of the material used. The Company may
require the Customer to pay the cost of construction plus the cost of removal, less
salvage for temporary construction performed in advance of permanent
construction or to provide temporary service.
The Company shall retain title (if applicable) to all plant constructed, as specified
within this tariff, provided wholly or partially at a Customer s expense. When
attachments are made to poles of other companies, instead of providing
construction for which the Customer would be charged under the provisions of this
section, the Customer shall pay the other company's cost for such attachments.
The Customer is required to pay the construction charges made by another
telephone company providing facilities to connect with the facilities of the
Company.

13.7.2 LINE EXTENSIONS
A. Conditions for Line Extension Charges
Construction Charges for line extensions are applied to Customer's with
abnormally long extension requirements to prevent unreasonable burdening of the
general body of existing Customers or service subscribers.
B. Rules for Line Extension Charges
All costs will be computed on a current basis, and material cost will be computed
on the basis of the extension of the minimum sized cable used by the Company or
its designated facilities provider to the Customer.
The Company will determine the type of cable plant extension required on the
basis of current and projected conditions and estimate the cost accordingly.
The construction charge for line extensions is apportioned equally among all
Customers of a group.
Customers may be required to make advance payments to cover all or a portion of
the excess construction charges for exchange service or special service
arrangements when in the Company s judgment there is evidence of credit risk. A
cash deposit may also be required as specified in Rules and Regulation, Section 2,
on Deposits.
Payments for line construction are not refundable, and no credit will be allowed
for future installations on line extensions constructed under the above regulations.

C. Poles on Private Property
The Company or its designated facilities provider will provide the poles on private
property which are used in serving an individual Customer at no cost to the
Customer except in cases where the Customer is required to pay for constructing
the line extension. Poles requested by the Customer in excess of those deemed
necessary by the Company, will be charged to the Customer at the installed cost.
D Provisions of Private Rights-of-Way
The Company s obligation to provide service through line extension depends
entirely on its ability to secure, retain and maintain suitable rights-of-ways without
incurring unreasonable expense. When conditions require, Customers shall
provide, without expense to the Company, private rights-of-way as needed. Any
and all private rights-of-way permit requirements and any and all associated costs
will be the responsibility of the Customer and must be furnished before a plant
extension project begins.

13.7.3 SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION
A. Construction on Private Property
The Company or its designated facilities provider will furnish an average amount
of entrance and distribution facilities, provided the facilities are of the standard
type normally furnished for the particular location or kind of service.
If additional entrance or distribution facilities are required, or if conditions require
special equipment, maintenance or methods of construction, if the installation is
for a temporary purpose, or if for any other reason, the construction costs are
excessive as compared with the revenue to be derived from the project, the
Customer may be required to pay for costs over and above the costs applicable for
a normal installation.
The Customer will provide the Company upon request and without charge written
permission for the placement of Company facilities (or the facilities of a Company-
designated service provider) on their property.
The Customer is responsible for providing satisfactory entrance to the building and
space for mounting any necessary network protection equipment.
B. Temporary Service
Where plant construction is required to provide any temporary service or facility,
or where it is necessary to place temporary construction in advance of permanent
construction in order to meet the Customer requirements, the Company may
require the Customer to pay the nonrecoverable costs of the temporary construction
or to contract for service beyond the initial period, or both.

shall place, own and maintain the pole. However, if the Customer elects and the
Company agrees, the Company or its designated service provider will place, own
and maintain the pole and bill the Customer the cost of placing the pole. Where
plant construction is required to provide any service or facility to a movable

D. Service to Residential and Commercial Developments
The construction charges, allowances and provisions previously specified in this
Section contemplate the extension of facilities into areas of normal growth and
development. Where facilities are to be extended into new areas of residential or
commercial real estate development which, in the Company s opinion, are of a
promotional or speculative nature, the Company may require an advance deposit
equal to all or a portion of the costs of such construction, depending on the
circumstances in each case. This advance deposit will be payable prior to the start
of construction. The Company and the developer may enter into a contractual
agreement that provides for the periodic refund of portions of the deposit as
Customers in the development receive telephone service, and other terms of the
contract are met. The contract will specify the estimated number of telephone
customers expected to receive service within the area and the time required to
complete the project (not to exceed five years). The contract will provide that the
construction charge be recomputed to reflect regular tariff allowances, design
changes made by the developer, damage to telephone facilities by persons other
than Company employees or agents or unusual construction requirements. Periodic
refunds to the developer will be adjusted accordingly. The Customer for telephone
service to a development is required to provide the Company, at his own expense,
the necessary easements for installation and maintenance of telephone facilities
clear the ground where facilities are to be installed according to Company
specifications and request installation of telephone facilities at an appropriate time
during construction of the project to avoid unnecessary costs to the Company.

E. Underground Service Connections
1. When a Customer requests that underground service connections be
installed instead of aerial facilities which would ordinarily be used, or
when aerial facilities are used to provide service, and the Customer
subsequently requests that facilities be placed underground, the following
regulations apply:
a. the Customer shall pay the cost on constructing and maintaining
underground conduits which will be built according to Company
specifications or according to the specifications of the Company
designated service provider;
b. any ducts required in the underground conduit by the Company to
furnish service shall be reserved for its exclusive use;
c. if a Customer requests that cable be installed in a trench, the trench
shall be constructed and back filled under the Company
supervision at the Customer s expense;
d. the Company or its designated service provider will maintain and
replace cable installed in conduit where the Company has
inspected and approved the conduit. The Company or its
designated service provider will repair or replace cable in conduit
or trench necessitated by damage caused by the Customer or his
representatives, only at the Customer s expense; and
e. the Company or its designated service provider may replace
existing aerial facilities with underground facilities in connection
with planned projects or during its normal operations. If a
Customer requests the removal and replacement of existing aerial
facilities with underground facilities prior to the time of normal
replacement, the Customer will be responsible for the expense
incurred by the Company in making the replacement.

Company may need to test the capabilities of the systems required by a proposed service, including,
but not limited to, systems needed to establish, provision, operate, bill and/or collect for a service,
whether such systems are provided solely by the company or in combination with systems provided
by other carriers or vendors. A market trial is not an offer to provide service to the general public.
Eligibility - The Company may limit customers who are eligible to receive a service that is offered
as part of a market trial, including but not limited to, limitations on the number of customers or the
classes of customers who may subscribe to the service during the market trial. Additionally, the
Company may limit the market trial to customers who are employees of the Company.
Availability - The Company, at its option, may choose to offer a market trial service on a statewide
basis or may limit the availability of a market trial service to a smaller geographic area. The area
in which a market trial service is available may include all or part of an exchange and need not
conform to existing exchange area boundaries.
Duration - A market trial may be conducted for any period of time defined by the Company, not to
exceed 12 months.
Notice - The Company will notify the Commission in writing of any local market trial services
being offered in Idaho.
Applicability of Other Tariff Provisions - If the terms and conditions of the market trial conflict

K. Speed Calling
Speed Calling enables a Customer to place calls to other telephone numbers by
dialing a one or two digit code rather than the complete telephone number. Speed
Calling 8 Number allows for an eight (8) telephone number capacity, wherein the
telephone numbers are assigned a one digit code.
Customers may program Speed Calling 8 Number by dialing 74# and waiting for
the dial tone. Customers then dial the code (consisting of numbers 2 through 9) to
be assigned and the telephone number, including area code if necessary. To dial
the number, Customers dial the code number followed by the pound sign (#).
L. Three-Way Calling
Three-Way Calling enables a Customer to add a third party to an existing call
without operator assistance, thereby establishing a three-way conversation. The
transmission may not meet normal standards depending on the distance and routing
necessary to activate a three-way call.
Customers access Three-Way Calling during a current call by pressing and
releasing the receiver button to receive a second dial tone, dialing the third-party
telephone number, and pressing and releasing the receiver button to connect the
two calls.

Anonymous Call Rejection allows a Customer to reject all calls which have been
indicated as anonymous, unavailable or private by the calling party. When
Anonymous Call Rejection is active, the called party receives no alerting for a call
that has been rejected. The call is routed to a denial announcement and
subsequently terminated.
Customers who are subscribed to Anonymous Call Rejection activate the service
by dialing *77 and can deactivate the service by dialing *87.
N. Call Waiting ID
Call Waiting ID allows the Customer to identify the calling party on a waiting call
prior to the telephone being answered. Call Waiting ID displays the telephone
number and/or name of the calling party on a Customer’s CPE while a call is in
progress. Call Waiting ID requires a period of time equivalent to two ringing tones
in order to produce the name and telephone number display on the CPE. Call
Waiting ID displays non-published telephone numbers, unless the Customer who
has a non-published listing activates a call identification block. Call Waiting ID
requires subscription to Call Waiting and Caller ID Services as described in this
section.

15.6.3 Non-Published Service
The telephone numbers of non-published service are not listed in either the Company’s
alphabetical directory or Directory Assistance records available to the general public. The
telephone numbers of non-published service or the name and billing address that
corresponds to a non-published number may be divulged in the following two instances:
First, in the interest of public safety, where a government agency subscribes to Enhanced
Universal Emergency Telephone Number Service (E911) the telephone number and
address, but not the name, of a customer with non-published service will be displayed when
that customer dials 911 to a government employee at a console at a Public Safety
Answering Point for dispatch of emergency service.
Second, the billing name and address that correspond to a non-published telephone number
will be furnished to a subscriber to Billing Name and Address (BNA) Service if the
customer with the non-published service makes a call that uses the service of the BNA
subscriber.
Incoming calls to non-published 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.

In order to recover the Company’s 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 price listed 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.
