Attention Lifeline and Monitor Users
If you are a Lifeline user or are monitoring an at-risk baby, please notify
our plant department by dialing 611. In the event of an outage, persons
with Lifeline or a monitoring system are given priority status in having
their service restored so it is vital our subscribers keep us informed of such
special circumstances. New Lifeline and monitor users will be asked for
certification from a physician.
We also request you inform us when a Lifeline or baby monitor is taken
out of service so we can update our records. Your assistance will help us
to serve you better.
Thank you!

Pay-per -call
services
are
those
information services that are offered
through 900 numbers and carry a fee
greater than the cost of simply transmitting
a call. Any interstate service that charges
consumers for information – other than
telephone directory assistance – must be
provided through a 900 number.
Pay-per-call services are not allowed on
toll-free calls, such as 800 numbers, unless
services are paid by a prepaid account or
credit card. Callers to toll-free numbers
may not be transferred to 900 numbers.
Local telephone companies must offer
consumers the option of blocking access to
900 number services if technically feasible.
Telephone companies may not disconnect
local or long distance telephone service for
failure to pay 900 number charges.
However, all other charges on the bill that
are not part of the disputed amount must
be paid. Non-payment of 900 number
pay-per-call services may result in
involuntary blocking of access to the
pay-per-call programs. Pay-per-call
services must be shown in a portion of the
bill separate from local and long distance
charges. Information outlining consumers’
rights and responsibilities with respect to
payment of information service charges
must be included with the bill.
McDonough Telephone Cooperative offers
blocking of 900 and collect calls at no
charge to the membership.
Members
wanting to unblock are assessed the normal
service order charges.

There is a 2-digit number
embedded somewhere in the

LAST 2 numbers of your
landline phone number, call
