predetermined number when the customer s telephone goes off-hook. No dialing
is required and the call is processed automatically to the predetermined telephone
number.
CALLED
CALLED allows for callers who encounter a "ring no answer" condition to
record their name and telephone number for future delivery to the called party.
The service provides a voice prompt for the caller to enter a touch-tone command.
Once callers record their name and number CALLED will attempt to deliver the
information to the called party by calling the called party periodically for a
predetermined number of days, or until the called party answers, whichever comes
first. When the called party answers the CALLED call, the recorded information
will be played through twice to ensure the called party hears the information. The
called party will also have the opportunity to replay the message if needed. This

Protected numbers. Callers attempting to place a collect or third number billed
call using an Incoming Fraud Protected number for billing will be advised by an
operator that such billing is unauthorized and the call will not be completed until
other payment or billing arrangements are made.

aforementioned Fraud Protection Services.
