900 Calls

For billing disputes or inquires, Butler, Culloden, Lizella, Reynolds, and Roberta customers may call 847-4111. Lizella customers may also call 935-2611. Geneva and Talbotton customers should call 269-3611. You have 60 days from the date of the bill to dispute a billing error. You have the right to withhold payment of the disputed charges during the billing error review. No collection activity for disputed charges will occur while the charges are under investigation. After investigation, if it is determined that the disputed charges are legitimate, your long distance carrier or the information provider may proceed with outside collections against your account. Your local and long distance service cannot be disconnected for non-payment of 900 charges. Failure to pay legitimate 900 charges may result in involuntary blocking of your access to 900 services. Voluntary blocking of access to 900 services is available upon written request to Public Service Telephone Company.

Fraudulent Billing Can Lead To Prosecution

It is illegal for any person to charge any calls to another's telephone number or Calling Card without permission. Persons placing such calls to avoid payments are subject to prosecution, and if convicted, are subject to imprisonment and/or a fine.
