1.1 Extraordinary Service Charges

Where the PSTN service requested by the customer has transmission characteristics or other features that are not part of this list of charges, the customer must pay the installation and rental charges that Telecom specifically determines for this particular service. Since charges vary between areas, customers should enquire at their local Telecom ROC office for the charges which apply to their area.

1.2 Centrex Private Switching and Network Service

Centrex Private Switching and Network Service is a Public Switched Telephone Network access option providing customers with PABX-type functions from the Telecom exchange.
