an alternative long distance canier on a per call basis.

toll calls subject to presubscription.

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.
