Telephone Company Procedures: The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may
occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your service
or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to
maintain uninterrupted service.
